Current Appointments

Picture
I am at present a full-time Associate Professor at UPB-Medellin. My primary appointment is in the School of Education and Pedagogy Graduate Program. As part of my appointment in the graduate program, I am currently teaching the research courses at the MA in Learning and Teaching Processes in Second Languages (Maestría en Procesos de Aprendizaje y Enseñanza de Segundas Lenguas) or ML2. I also had the honor of being the project leader for the ML2 program creation (August 2011-December 2012) and its first program coordinator (January 2013-June 2016) and was the instructor-of-record for the seminar "Literacies in Second Languages" between 2013 and 2017. As a thesis director in ML2, 10 of my students already finished their degree, 3 are close to defending, and 3 are working on their theses. I have also served as thesis director in two of our master's programs in education. In 2018, I am also faculty in our Doctorate in Education, where I taught the introduction to critical theory course for three semesters and will be teaching research in 2021. In this program, I also have two doctoral students (three in total, including a student in the PhD in Philosophy)

My secondary appointment is in the BA in English-Spanish Education. I teach the course on Methods and Approaches to the Teaching of English and I direct all the senior theses from the undergraduate researchers at the Literacies in Second Languages Project. 

Most of my current research happens through the Literacies in Second Languages Project, a research lab I chair. There, I am  working and doing research with preservice teachers and graduate students interested in issues of second language literacies. I also serve as deputy director for the Pedagogies and Didactics of Knowledge research team, where I coordinate the Second Language Studies research line. 

In addition to my teaching and research duties at UPB, I have joined several universities in Colombia and abroad as visiting faculty or visiting scholar:
  • Visiting Professor at the MA in English Language Teaching at Universidad de Córdoba
