    Elizabeth Castro, Doctoral Candidate in Language, Literacy & Culture

    School of Education, University of California, Davis

    Elizabeth Castro is a doctoral candidate at the UC Davis School of Education with an emphasis in Language, Literacy, and Culture. Her ethnographic research draws on sociocultural and translanguaging approaches to education, language ideologies, and a raciolinguistic ideological lens to explore the ways language and literacy practices manifest ingenuity and joy in secondary schools, particularly when used by bilingual Latina paraeducators as they work alongside emergent bilingual students.
