Bio

Dr. Parkhouse’s research focuses on critical citizenship education and how teacher education can support teachers’ use of culturally sustaining, empowering, and socio-politically conscious practices. She also studies immigration and education and teaching for global awareness. These research interests stem from her experiences teaching high school social studies, English as a Second Language, and literature in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City.

She currently teaches secondary school curriculum, teaching English as a Second Language, and professional development for changing schools.
