Biography

Courtney B. Cazden is the Charles William Eliot Professor of Education, Emerita, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA. She is a member of the National Academy of Education, a recipient of a Fulbright research fellowship to study minority education in New Zealand, and a past president of the Council on Anthropology and Education and of the American Association for Applied Linguistics.
