Mitchell D Ingram, Ph.D., expected 2019 (Committee Member)
Mitch's research interests include the role of humor as part of community cultural wealth, relajo in bilingual contexts and he is passionate about the different linguistic varieties, dichos, refranes, modismos, and chistes of the Spanish-speaking world. In addition, he is fascinated by how minoritized mono/bilingual Spanish-speakers leverage humor in both affiliative and disaffiliative ways to navigate hegemonic systems and what this could mean for theory, pedagogy, and practice.
