Bio/Research
Dr. Guofang Li is an associate professor of second language and literacy education in the Department of Teacher Education, Michigan State University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Saskatchewan in 2000 and was a post-doctoral fellow (SSHRC) at the University of British Columbia during 2000-2001. Prior to joining MSU, she was an assistant professor at the University at Buffalo, where she was a recipient of the 2004 Outstanding Young Investigator Award. Her research interests focus on three interrelated areas of concerns: a) Asian immigrant children's home literacy practices; b) cultural conflicts and educational dissensions between Asian immigrant parents and mainstream schools/teachers regarding literacy learning and instruction; and c) Asian children's social processes of learning, especially the impact of the "model minority" myth, social class, and cultural identity on language and literacy development.
