Ramon Martinez
Assistant Professor of Education
BioDr. Martínez explores the intersections of language, race, and ideology in the public schooling experiences of students of color, with a particular focus on bi/multilingual Chicana/o and Latina/o children and youth. His research examines: (1) the everyday language and literacy practices of students of color, and the ways that these practices overlap with the forms of language and literacy privileged in academic settings; (2) the competing ideologies that inform language policy and classroom practice in urban schools, including the ways that students and teachers in these schools articulate, embody, and challenge such ideologies in their everyday interactions; and (3) the preparation of pre-service and in-service teachers to work with culturally and linguistically diverse learners. He has published articles in journals such as Linguistics and Education, Research in the Teaching of English, Anthropology & Education Quarterly, Teachers College Record, and Review of Research in Education.

Ana Montosa
Master of Arts Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI was born in a medium-sized city in the south of Brazil. I moved to São Paulo to start college, and lived there for the last 10 years.
When younger, my dream was to become a great CEO. For that to come true, I graduated in Business Administration and decided to begin my career at Kearney, as an strategy consultant. About 4 years ago I went to Costa Rica to work as a volunteer teacher and, after getting to closely know amazing children from vulnerable areas, I decided to completely change my career path. I quit my job and started working at Ensina Brasil (part of Teach for All network), with the intent to support the development of a strong network of leaders that could positively impact Brazilian public education system.
Now, my dream is to contribute to a country with more equitable access to opportunities, to ensure all children can fulfill their potential. For that to happen, I believe that we need to strengthen our public education system. That is why I am interested in studying how to design and implement innovative public policies, and how to support the establishment of a hopeful government team that tirelessly fights for equity and excellence in our schools. -
