Curriculum Vitae


Dr. Patriann Smith is a professor at the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息. Dr. Smith's transdisciplinary research considers how literacy teaching, research, assessment, and policy are influenced by the intersection of race, language and immigration. 

Dr. Smith examines specifically, how differences in languages, Englishes, and English language ideologies affect Black Caribbean students鈥 immigrant literacy practices as they cross cultures and languages between their home countries and the United States. She draws from the Black Englishes and Black literacies of Afro-Caribbean immigrants, other Black immigrants in the United States (i.e., African), and Black American students (i.e., African-American) to propose solutions that advance 鈥transraciolinguistic justice鈥. Through her transnationally focused scholarship, Dr. Smith has proposed 鈥a transraciolinguistic approach鈥 to explain how Englishes and the language ideologies that inform the use of these Englishes, both challenge and create affordances for cross-cultural, cross-racial, and cross-linguistic literacy instruction. She has also proposed the framework for 鈥Black immigrant literacies鈥, the concept of 鈥榯ranslanguaging with Englishes while Black,鈥 and the notion of 鈥raciosemiotic architecture鈥 to clarify the elements involved in Black youth literacies as their translanguaging is transracialized across borders.  

Dr. Smith has published 3 books and over 70 articles and book chapters in journals such as the American Educational Research Journal (AERJ), Reading Research Quarterly (RRQ), Teachers College Record (TCR), Journal of Education and Development in the Caribbean (JEDIC) and International Multilingual Research Journal (IMRJ). She continues to extend her research by comparing insights about Black immigrant Englishes and Black immigrant literacy practices in international literacy assessment and transcultural teacher education to that of other native Black populations in the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean. An overview of Dr. Smith鈥檚 research is available on and . Her description of a transraciolinguistic approach is available in the Classroom Caffeine and the voicEd Radio . 

Dr. Smith currently serves as an elected member of the Board of Directors of the Literacy Research Association (2020-2023) and as Co-Principal Investigator of the $3.6 million USAID funded Caribbean Educational Research Initiative: RISE Caribbean

Dr. Smith is author of the book 鈥溾 and co-author of the book 鈥溾 published by Teachers College Press.
