Join us for the last of the Spring 2025 MTI Speaker Series as we welcome Naitnaphit Limlamai, Assistant Professor, English Education, for her presentation titled “Complicating Our Understandings of Justice-Oriented Teaching”
Bio: Naitnaphit Limlamai, is housed in the English Department as an Assistant Professor of English Education where she teaches and studies secondary English teacher preparation and how that work manifests justice. Specifically, she investigates how justice is defined, constructed, and enacted in secondary English methods classes and how those ideas travel from university preparation course work to student teaching classrooms and beyond. Her additional interests include how writers develop as such, collaboration, and antiracist organizational change. Naitnaphit’s research shapes her work with secondary English teachers and her teaching of secondary English teacher preparation courses. She has published in numerous journals about her work and is currently revising a book manuscript that braids ideas of justice, self-reflection, and instructional design.
Outside the University Naitnaphit serves as the co-chair of the English Language Arts Teacher Educator Social Justice Commission and co-chair of the Mentorship Committee of the Assembly for the Literature of Adolescents of the National Council of Teachers of English.
Before entering higher education, Naitnaphit was a high school English teacher for 13 years in Florida, Georgia, and New York. She strongly identifies as a teacher and learner.
