Carla started her career in education as an elementary schoolteacher teaching fourth- and fifth-graders in New Jersey. Her time as a teacher left her full of pressing questions and curiosities—about justice, voice, and power for our youngest public school children and their families. She comes to Brown while continuing her graduate work as a doctoral student in Culture, Communities and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education where she pursues those curiosities primarily through the lens of race, culture, and ethnicity. She is most curious to learn about how children and their teachers construct and challenge the meanings of difference in the everyday life of their classrooms, and has a particular interest in the intersection of race and immigration.
To the teacher education program at Brown, Carla brings her deep commitment to and passion for the work of developing critical, reflective, skilled, and justice-minded educators. She believes the most highly qualified teachers are those who understand and own their responsibility to ensure that all of our children enjoy equally liberating and rich lives in school.
