Jie Park is an Associate Professor of Education. She holds a B.A. and M.A. in English Literature from Stanford, and a Ph.D. (2010) in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. A language and literacy scholar, she studies immigrant youth and their literacy and language practices in out-of-school and school-based settings. She has conducted longitudinal studies in Philadelphia and Bronx, NY where she investigated how first-generation immigrant students acquire academic discourses, and what cultural and linguistic resources they bring to their schooling. Currently, she is involved in a variety of research projects around teacher and youth-research, multicultural and multilingual curricula in high school classrooms, and the intersection of youth literacy, language, and identities. She is a recipient of the prestigious Spencer Foundation/National Academy of Education Postdoctoral Fellowship Award, as well as Clark’s Hodgkins’ and Rosiland Roberts’ Faculty Awards. Her most recent work has been published in Anthropology and Education Quarterly, the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, English Education, and the International Journal of Multicultural Education.
