Bio/Research
Dr. Loutzenheiser’s research interests are focused on the educational experiences of marginalized youth. This focus emanates from Dr. Loutzenheiser’s teaching experience and research on youth in alternative educational settings. She combines a fascination with curriculum, queer /gender, critical race and poststructural theories, as well as the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, etc. in schooling to look at the experiences of marginalized youth.
A second strand of her research flows from the statements of youth in alternative settings suggesting that they learn best when strong connections are made with teachers and with their own lives/identities. Therefore, Dr. Loutzenheiser is also interested in exploring how sometimes difficult and controversial issues such as heteronormativity, and racism can be brought into both K-12 and teacher education courses.
Dr. Loutzenheiser also delves into the ethical conundrums and methodological dilemmas embedded in qualitative research.
