معرفی
Maisha T Winn is a Professor at the School of Education, University of California, Davis. Her research focuses on literacy practices in marginalized communities, particularly among African American, Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Colombian youth, with a strong emphasis on institutional settings such as community organizations and juvenile justice facilities.
Her research interests lie at the intersection of literacy, identity, and social justice. She investigates how literate practices are shaped by cognitive processes, interactional dynamics, and broader sociocultural contexts. Her work critically examines how institutions contribute to the cultural-historical development of racially and economically marginalized communities, especially through adult-youth relationships and peer socialization.
Although no specific publications are listed in the provided text, her body of work suggests a strong focus on ethnographic and multidisciplinary approaches to understanding literacy in non-traditional educational spaces, particularly for justice-involved adolescent girls. This indicates a recurring thematic trend in urban education, critical pedagogy, and community-based knowledge systems.
