Previously, she held the position of Professor of English at Arizona State University. She earned her PhD in 2003 from the University of Pennsylvania, with a dissertation titled 'Here without English You are Dead': Language Ideologies and the Experiences of Women Refugees Enrolled in an Adult ESL Program.'

Education:
- PhD in Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania, 2003
Research Interests: Dr. Warriner employs theories from linguistic and educational anthropology, applied linguistics, and literacy studies to examine how large-scale processes like displacement, ethnic conflict, and climate change shape lived experiences and learning trajectories. She also explores narrative analysis in qualitative research interviews, emphasizing how these interactions construct social identities and moral stances.
Recent Publications & Books: Her work has appeared in Theory into Practice, Curriculum Inquiry, and Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development. She co-edited volumes such as Refugee Education across the Lifespan (Springer, 2021), Extending Applied Linguistics for Social Impact (Bloomsbury, 2021), and Critical Reflections on Research Methods (Multilingual Matters, 2019).
Awards:
- 2005 Outstanding Dissertation Award (Council on Anthropology and Education)
Current Research: Warriner is investigating how migrant youth conceptualize climate displacement and how interactional narratives in research interviews shape social identification and moral agency. Her work bridges anthropological theory with applied social impact initiatives.
