She employs ethnographic and anthropological methods to understand the sociopolitical and sociocultural processes related to language, teaching, learning, and the curriculum. Her work contributes theoretical frameworks and empirical knowledge to policies, programs, pedagogies, and practices that amplify the 'counts' knowledge and enhance bilingual students' academic potential through asset-based and strength-based educational practices, particularly for Chican@/Latin@ students.
