“With a background in teacher education and curriculum studies, my work focuses on the transformative potential of education and the pivotal role of educators in societal change. My experiences working with preservice teachers across various colleges and universities sparked my interest in moving beyond “what works” approaches to embrace critical and transformative approaches to education. During my doctoral studies in curriculum studies as well as educational technology and learning design, I further strengthened my commitment to critical scholarship in education. My research interests include critical pedagogy, reflective practice, critical digital literacy, transformative learning, and culturally responsive pedagogy.
I view technology as more than just tools or artifacts—as a process that involves the complex interaction of technical, human, social, and cultural factors. I strive to explore and understand these processes and values rather than merely the tools themselves. While I acknowledge both the affordances and limitations of educational technologies, I see their immense value in transformative educational and curricular initiatives. Being part of the MET program alongside incredible scholars is an exciting opportunity to engage in meaningful work and contribute to the advancement of the field.”
