She conducts research in the areas of multimodalities and literacies with a special interest in connections across home and school. Using qualitative and interdisciplinary methodologies her work focuses on the processes of making and literacies, how children use everyday resources (particularly, popular culture), and what can be learned from children about their consumption and production of multimodal, cultural, and digital texts. Her research interests also include ethical considerations of children’s participation in research and considerations of creativity in literacies. She currently serves as the President of Language and Literacy Researchers of Canada / L’Association canadienne des chercheurs en langue et littératie: http://www.llrc-accll.ca/doku.php.
