Gerald Campano’s research while affiliated with University of Pennsylvania and other places

... Foucaultian genealogical approaches destabilize established categories rather than focusing on linear progression of events, creating a history of the present (Foucault, 1977). Complementing these areas, communing emphasizes the attending to relationship building (Campano et al., 2010;Whetung & Wakefield, 2018), specifically flexibility (Smith et al., 2010) and responsiveness (Fine et al., 2008) to promote horizontal communication and generate positive interdependence among researchers, educators, and test users. The humanizing approach to assessment explored in this paper has emerged from my own work as a language assessment researcher in an earnest attempt to bring together myriad approaches that share the overlapping goals of working actively against past, present, and future harmful consequences of testing. ...

... This study joins a substantial body of already-existing research (see Cochran-Smith & Lytle, 2009;Crawford-Garrett & Riley, 2016;Ghiso, Campano & Simon, 2013;Lieberman, 2000) in recommending inquiry-based professional development as an effective literacy-based approach for supporting teacher learning and development. Inquiry-based professional development might be understood as a model of critical professional development (see Kohli, Picower, Martinez & Oritz, 2015) that provides opportunity for teachers to move beyond the current primary focus on student test scores and develop more critical and holistic approaches to curriculum and pedagogical design and measures of student success. ...

... Whitewashing obscures the needs and existence of Black children in classrooms and in educational reforms . The literacy practices of global majority families (aka BIPOC families) are systemically erased, silenced, and pathologized through the implementation of hegemonic Western school policies and practices (Campano et al., 2013). wrote: …to dismiss and exclude voices like these is to perpetuate whitewashing that has occurred in narratives about how Black children are taught, in how teachers see/don't see Black children, and in how reform and policy makers disregard pivotal stakeholders in underrepresented populations and fail to incorporate their needs into existing policies. ...

... Moral courage has three elements: commitment to moral principles, recognition of the danger or risk, and the willingness to endure hardship (Press, 2018). Campano et al. (2016) assert that any human rights pedagogy entails facing the "losses people have experienced such as threats to life, well-being, property, and protection" (p. 45). ...

... (44) Bajo este contexto, se exploraron las conversaciones generativas sobre alfabetización y se concluyó que la IA puede facilitar la claridad conceptual al permitir que los autores visualicen y organicen mejor sus ideas antes de plasmarlas en un texto. (45) También se investigó la perspectiva de justicia social en el uso de IA generativa, subrayando que, si bien la IA mejora la claridad en la presentación de ideas, también plantea desafíos éticos que deben abordarse para garantizar una comunicación efectiva y justa. (46) Se discutió el impacto transformador de la IA en la educación superior, destacando que la tecnología ha sido instrumental en mejorar la claridad y cohesión de los textos producidos por estudiantes y académicos. ...

... Likewise, librarians are often taught some form of reflective activity during library school, with some librarians continuing that practice (e.g., journaling) throughout their careers. However, when reflective professional development is done collectively within a community of practice, the outcomes for a holistic development of professional identity can occur (Irvin & Reile, 2018;Stornaiuolo et al., 2019;Mehra, 2022). ...

... Thus, adopting an empathizing stance can help us gain deeper understanding about who we and others are and how we are related in the context of argumentation. This lays the groundwork for thick solidarity (Martinez et al., 2021), which harnesses empathy without simply smoothing over differences, delving deeply into the particularity of each individual and their experiences. ...

... Gutters highlight the juxtapositions and image-text tensions that ultimately make the medium's hybrid readings possible, and they provide liminal spaces for narratives (and readers) to transition from one moment, subject, body, or scene to another. David has written previously about transnational children and youth who used comics gutters to safeguard aspects of their narratives from outside readers (Ghiso & Low, 2013;Low, Monea, Stornaiuolo, Campano, & Thomas, 2020;Low & Pandya, 2019), not entirely unlike Reese's discussion of literary curtains (2018).

... Drawing from feminist research methodologies that center radical vulnerability (Nagar, 2014), and by engaging in collaborative self-study through the reflexive use of poetry as method (Baxley & Sealey-Ruiz, 2021;Lorde, 1984), we composed and collectively analyzed poems that captured moments of critical witnessing in our own practice as teacher educators. As part of our ongoing inquiry and reflection, we asked ourselves these questions: ...

... Students need to strengthen targeted learning based on language application needs so as to improve their cultural communication skills, which also makes higher vocational English language teaching a strong complexity [16][17][18]. Strengthening the understanding and development of English language teaching, it is not difficult to find that under the influence of exam-oriented education, English language teaching is still in the early stage of development, and the education mode is relatively single [19][20]. With the continuous development of quality education, higher vocational colleges and universities are constructing a special English language teaching mode based on their schooling characteristics, hoping to enhance the learners' vocational core literacy and social adaptability and then improve their employability, laying a good foundation for their future development [21]. ...
