TEACHER EDUCATION

Luz Yadira Herrera, Ph.D.

I am Luz Yadira Herrera, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor of Dual Language Learning. My teaching and research are in culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogy, translanguaging, critical pedagogies, and bilingual education policy. I am the co-author of En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students, The Translanguaging Collections: Affirming Bilingual and Multilingual Learners Handbook, and co-founder of theEn Comunidad Collective with Dr. Carla España. 

I chose to make CSUDH my home because of the community I felt with my colegas in the College of Education, who made me feel welcome every step of the way. Moreover, growing up in Los Angeles, serving and advocating for and with children and families in LA schools through my work is a dream.
