Ming-Hsuan Wu serves as Associate Professor in the School of Education at Adelphi University's Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences, specializing in educational linguistics with emphasis on multilingual student empowerment and critical pedagogy in urban contexts. Her expertise bridges academic research and practical teacher training initiatives.
Her educational credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Educational Linguistics, University of Pennsylvania (2013)
- M.S.Ed. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, University of Pennsylvania (2009)
- M.S.Ed. in Educational Policy Studies, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (2006)
- B.A. in Foreign Languages & Literature, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan (2002)
Dr. Wu's research critically examines intersections of race, language, and social class in educational inequality through a social justice lens. She investigates how immigrant students and educators navigate urban school systems, with current projects focusing on transnational Chinese 'satellite children' and identity negotiations of Asian American English teachers in Taiwan. Her work consistently centers on leveraging students' linguistic diversity as a resource.
Analysis of her 2012-2023 publications reveals persistent themes in transnational education and critical language pedagogy, particularly identity formation among marginalized groups. Her methodology favors qualitative narrative inquiry to document resistance against linguistic hegemony, with increasing attention to bicultural resilience since 2019. The research trajectory shows deepening focus on teacher agency in transforming classroom dynamics.
