University of Lethbridge

Biography

I was born in Saarbrücken, Germany, on the border of the Alsace Lorraine region of France. After completing my secondary schooling at the Mädchengymnasium Saarbrücken, I began my university education in my hometown at the Universität des Saarlandes with undergraduate studies in English and History. I then completed an M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies in American and Canadian literature, literacy, culture, and linguistics at the John F. Kennedy Institute for North American Studies, Freie Universität Berlin. My master's thesis investigated the role of women writers in the crossfire of male literary criticism, focusing on sociolinguistics, history, and dialectology in the context of Canadian English at the University of British Columbia (with Dr. R. J. Greeg), and obtaining a B.Ed. with a specialization in multicultural language and literacy, I became a K-12 teacher with the Vancouver School Board. While teaching in a culturally and linguistically diverse community school, I completed a Ph.D. in curriculum studies and language and literacy education at UBC. My thesis focused on the texts of culture and community in my East Vancouver classroom, school, and the surrounding community. I subsequently taught in the International Teacher Education Module (ITEM) at Simon Fraser University prior to my current position as professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Lethbridge.
