Research Interests

Professor Wetzel's research and teaching focus on literacy research and teacher education. She studies how preservice teachers integrate critical literacy and culturally relevant practices into their field-based literacy teaching experiences and also how teachers learn to be literacy leaders through coaching and mentoring. She is also interested in critical literacy, transformative teaching and racial literacy. She draws on qualitative methods in her work, primarily critical discourse analysis and ethnography.
