  English PhD candidate - dissertation research interests are teaching College Writing at predominantly Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)

  especially at community colleges. I also currently teach ESL at two charter high schools in Dallas. \nMy teaching philosophy is tied to critical pedagogy

  cultural studies

  and writing Threshold Concepts

  such as \"Writing enacts and creates identities and ideologies\" (Tony Scott). One of the most important ideas for my classes is cultural inclusion for students in the writing curriculum. Some of my favorite books include: Interests and Opportunities: Race

  Racism and University Writing Instruction (Steve Lamos)

  Toward a Composition Made Whole (Jody Shipka); and fiction- War By Candlelight (Daniel Alarcon)

  and stories by Naguib Mahfouz (translated).
