Faythe Beauchemin is an Assistant Professor at the Lynch School of Education & Human Development, specializing in the areas of language and literacy. Drawing upon the fields of anthropology, linguistics and literacy studies, her academic research is grounded in theories that recognize teaching and learning as a social and cultural process that is historically and politically situated. She is committed to educational equity for students of color and bi/multilingual students in public schooling and is particularly interested in how daily moments of classroom literacy interactions hold the potential to affirm and value students' languages, cultures and knowledges in instruction.

Through her research, she explores how students and teachers use spoken and written language to build relationships and communities in classrooms that provide deep, academically excellent learning experiences while nurturing a sense of linguistic justice, belonging, and intellectual excitement. As a professor of teacher education, she hopes to support pre-service and in-service teachers as they grapple with the complexity and multi-layered nature of classroom interactions that unfold during literacy instruction. In particular, she focuses on developing teachers' capacities to engage in early literacy instruction through case studies and critical and microethnographic discourse analytic methods.

Her work has appeared in journals such as Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, Linguistics and Education, Literacy Research: Theory Method and Practice, English Teaching: Practice and Critique and English Journal. Her recent book, Teaching Language as Action in the English Language Arts Classroom, explores how students and teachers use language to create meaningful social and intellectual action with each other in their literacy learning.

She serves as the Treasurer of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Language and Social Processes SIG and as an Executive Board Member for the National Council for Teachers of English Assembly for Research (NCTEAR). She is also serves on the editorial boards of Research in the Teaching of English and Childhood Art.
