Andres Ramirez

Andrés Ramírez, co-chair

Andrés Ramírez, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Curriculum, Culture, and Educational Inquiry. His research explores culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogies that promote the literacy and language development of Emergent to Advanced Bilingual students. He teaches courses in TESOL education, curriculum theory, systemic functional linguistics and critical discourse analysis. Ramírez's commitment to the cause of Latinx and other linguistic and cultural minorities is perhaps best expressed through the following thought, quoted in one of his writings.

“I long for the day when the accomplishments of Latinos and other linguistic and cultural minorities in the United States are so vast and quotidian that celebrating them would almost seem redundant and unnecessary. The good that is an intrinsic part of the ordinary fabric of an equitable society is not often celebrated boisterously, it is simply enjoyed, cherished, and built upon for the benefit of all future generations.”
