Scholarly Interests

I study how constructions of difference (e.g., on the basis of race, class, language background) influence schools’ responses to the needs of diverse students. My research examines special education placement practices as a window into schools’ cultural constructions of difference. Some of my work tracks disability placement patterns to inform research and policy. A related strand of my research focuses on how teachers learn to use a social justice perspective as they teach diverse students. I use a comparative perspective (across local and national contexts) in my research.
