Dr. Emily Phillips Galloway is assistant professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College. Her quantitative and qualitative research explores the relationships between school-relevant language development and language expression and comprehension during middle childhood, focusing on linguistically- and culturally-minoritized learners. With the goal of advancing anti-racist pedagogy, Emily’s work positions school-relevant language as a semiotic resource for critically examining inequality, envisioning change, fostering learner agency and reading achievement. As part of her TRANSLATE project (see www.translatetoread.com) Emily is currently working to use technology in humanizing ways to support multilingual youth to use translanguaging practices–or using all language resources–as a support for reading comprehension.
