About Shawna Shapiro

I am a Full Professor at Middlebury College, where I teach courses in writing, linguistics, and education. I have also directed the Writing & Rhetoric Program in recent years.

My most recent research focuses on curricular innovation in courses that include multilingual/L2 writers, most recently through pedagogies centered around Critical Language Awareness. (For more information and resources, visit the CLA Collective).

I have also investigated college transitions for immigrant and refugee-background students and undergraduates’ understandings of  inclusivity.
