Biography / Academic Interests
:
Professor Johnson came to CSI after several years conducting research on small school reform at the National Center for Restructuring Education, Schools, and Teaching. Prior to pursuing her doctorate, she spent six years teaching children and youth in the public schools of Compton, California, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New Haven, Connecticut. Dr. Johnson’s current research sits at the intersection of literacy, media, popular culture and post-structural curriculum theory in the classroom. She isspecifically interested in exploring the distinctions between student and teacher definitions of pop culture texts and the roles power and identity politics play in classroom negotiations for pop culture textual meanings over time. Consequently, her work moves beyond the “film” “comic” or “radio hit” genres to include embodied pop culture texts like clothing, jewelry, or food, and also considers pop culture texts participants engage outside formal classroom curricula.
