Research
As a scholarly practioner, Crawford has over a decade of educational research experience conducting qualitative analysis and fieldwork; including development and analysis of surveys, interviews and classroom observations and studying education policy implementation. She also has a wide range of international experience including studying, conducting research, and teaching in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Brazil. She has given scholarly lectures and published in both Spanish and Portuguese. Her听work recognizes that teachers and families face linguistic, racial, and socioeconomic inequities rooted in legacies of cultural, racial and language domination which have resulted in persistent and negative impacts on听minoritized and working-class students. A prevailing theme in her scholarship is the interrogation of how language ideologies and policies and academic achievement are interrelated and shaped by sociopolitical and raciolinguistic contexts.
