Sarah Gallo, Associate Professor, College of Education and Human Ecology, The Ohio State University

Dr. Gallo draws upon ethnographic and linguistic anthropological tools to explore the multilingual literacy and languaging resources that Latino immigrant children deploy and develop across home and school contexts. Her research on Mexican immigrant fathers and their children in an emerging Latino immigrant community was supported by the National Science Foundation in Cultural Anthropology and the Spencer Foundation. Her research and teaching are motivated by a desire to improve educational possibilities for Latino immigrant students by preparing educators to recognize and build upon the traditional and innovative semiotic resources that immigrant students and families bring to their classrooms.
