My research is in the fields of multiliteracies, literacy, sociocultural approaches to language learning, content area literacy, adult education, feminist theory, and critical theory. I am currently the Principal Investigator on a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight grant that explores multiliteracies with adolescents and adults in high schools and community-based learning organizations in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
