Biography

Pierre W. Orelus is Associate Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, New Mexico State University, USA.

"Dear reader, let Pierre W. Orelus’ enticing edited collection, Language, Race, and Power in Schools: A Critical Discourse Analysis, be not just training for the mind, but an invitation for you to collect your thoughts, begin to build your own theories and coalitions, and prepare yourself for action and collaboration."

-- James Paul Gee, Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies and Regent’s Professor, Arizona State University

 

"This book provides a multi-perspectival account of power, race, and discourse in educational contexts. Multilingual and multicultural scholars bring their lived experiences into dialogue with the conceptual, methodological, and interventionist tools of critical discourse analysis. The threads of continuity across the chapters will provide readers with the ideas, tools, and hope to intervene for social justice in educational institutions."　

-Rebecca Rogers, Professor, University of Missouri-St. Louis
