JOB TALK
Sarah Levine is an assistant professor of literacy and language at the National College of Education at National-Louis University in Chicago. Her research focuses on the teaching and learning of literary interpretation and writing in under-resourced urban high schools, with an emphasis on the links between in- and out-of-school interpretive practices. She is also interested in ways that digital media can be used as frameworks for teaching reading and writing to middle and high school students. Her primary goal as an academic is to help shape the teaching and learning of secondary English teachers and contribute to research that will help students become independent readers and writers. Sarah’s talk, "Making Interpretation Visible with an Affect-Based Strategy", will explore the effects of recruiting and making "visible” the everyday interpretive practices of struggling high school readers.
