For example, he has studied forms of marginalization experienced by language learners, as well as ways in which learners gain a sense of belonging in a second language community. His related work in the area of teacher education explores ways in which future teachers can foster intercultural inquiry and promote social justice and inclusiveness through language teaching. Prior to coming to the University of Alberta, Dr. Dunn was a teacher educator and ESL Coordinator at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He has taught English as a second language in Canada and the United States, and French as a second language in the United States.
