Jimmy McLean

Jimmy McLean is a public school teacher and doctoral candidate in the Language and Literacy Studies program area in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. He is interested in how elementary literacy teachers imagine and enact critical and humanizing pedagogies with their students. Current and future research projects draw on critical, feminist, and queer theories to both contribute to the knowledge bases of literacy studies, critical curriculum studies, and gender/sexuality studies and inform transformative action in K-12 education.
