Research

Julia Hagge’s research focuses on literacy experiences for potentially marginalized learners. She approaches her research agenda with a twofold emphasis. First, she seeks to explore the ways in which students who are potentially marginalized due to learning differences, limited English proficiency, low-socioeconomic background, race, or gender are afforded increased access to meaning making via new media literacies. Additionally, her research is focused on ways to develop the literacy pedagogies of teacher candidates to provide inclusive literacy experiences in their instructional practice.
