Profile

Deborah A. Horan completed her Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in Language, Literacy, and Culture at Boston College. Her background includes work as an elementary Spanish-English bilingual teacher, composition instructor, and teacher educator for early childhood and elementary teachers, bilingual teachers, and K-12 reading specialists. Deborah currently teaches undergraduate literacy methods courses and graduate-level courses which focus on language and literacy. Her scholarly interests include the sociolinguistic study of language, literacy, and culture within the contexts of both elementary and teacher education, with a particular focus on writing pedagogy. Her most recent research project examines the developing professional identities of preservice bilingual reading teachers involved in a field-based reading methods course. Deborah is a frequent presenter at conferences for the American Educational Research Association, the National Reading Conference, and the American Association of Applied Linguistics.
