Past research projects have focused on the effects of neoliberalism (especially high-stakes testing) on teaching 和 learning in public schools; how new 和 veteran teachers conceptualize teaching for social justice; 和 how white supremacy 和 language ideologies intersect to create linguistic racism within schools (和 especially within English classes). Currently, she is collaborating on two research projects exploring recent educational policy changes. The first explores how teachers 和 parents are responding to a local district policy that will retain second-grade students based on st和ardized tests of literacy; 和 the second explores how potential 和 practices teachers are responding to a new state law prohibiting discussions of race 和 racism.
