Event overview
The Centre for Language, Culture & Learning
A perspective from the US with implications for teacher education and primary schools - supporting teachers and children to recognize colonized curriculum, understand the need to decolonize, and strategies for anti-racist and humanizing pedagogies in practice and policy.
Bio-note:
Susi Long is Professor of Early Childhood and Language and Literacy Education at the University of South Carolina. Her research focuses on equity methodologies in early childhood literacy.
Her articles and books, written in collaboration with teachers and university colleagues, focus on (a) children and families’ expertise, histories, and heritages as essential to broadening normalized views of teaching and learning, and (b) supporting teachers in developing and using that knowledge to challenge and change unjust pedagogies that privilege the dominant few. She is co-author of several books and a range of articles with that focus including
Many Pathways to Literacy with Eve Gregory and Dinah Volk and Courageous Leadership with Mariana Souto-Manning and Vivian Maria Vasquez. Dr. Long teaches doctoral seminars in sociocultural and critical theories and undergraduate courses in literacy methods, culturally relevant pedagogies, and linguistic pluralism. She has served in leadership roles with the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) including co-director of the Professional Dyads and Culturally Relevant Teaching project, Chair of NCTE’s Research Foundation, and member of NCTE’s Executive Council.
In 2013, she was recipient of NCTE’s Early Childhood Assembly Early Literacy Educator of the Year Award.
