About

Dr. Foran specializes in multilingual literacy. Across his scholarship and teaching, he considers how students can use linguistic diversity to engage in complex meaning-making activities in predominantly English spaces. His research interests center on exploring multilingual students’ spatial literacy and language practices and how they use such practices across their lives to construct meaning. He pursues these interests through case study and ethnographic methodologies.
