Bee Chamcharatsri

Bee Chamcharatsri is an Associate Professor in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of New Mexico, with a joint appointment in the Bilingual/TESOL program within the College of Education. She holds a PhD from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). Her research focuses on emotions in second language writing, identity construction in multilingual contexts, and world Englishes. Dr. Chamcharatsri’s work explores how affective factors influence language learning, particularly through creative writing and translanguaging approaches.

Her academic background includes studies in sociocultural theory, feedback practices in writing instruction, and the role of first language (L1) in peer review activities. She advocates for inclusive pedagogical strategies that integrate multilingual resources and promote critical language awareness. Her publications span topics such as L2 writer identity, poetry as an emotional outlet, and the impact of standardized assessments on linguistically diverse students.

Dr. Chamcharatsri’s interdisciplinary approach bridges rhetoric and writing studies with TESOL, emphasizing the interplay between language, emotion, and cultural identity. She collaborates across departments to address issues in global English use, academic publishing politics, and the sociocultural dimensions of language education.
