Please use this online form to book a visit from Naitnaphit.
Naitnaphit Limlamai is an Assistant Professor of English Education at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. Previously, she taught high school English for 13 years in Florida, Georgia, and New York and was the diversity, inclusion, justice, and equity chair for the Michigan Council of Teachers of English.
Often the only woman of color in the room, Naitnaphit’s teaching and learning practices tap concealed perspectives and surface what society ignores. Her teaching thus asks questions like, What stories do we read in classrooms, and why? What can slang teach us about language and young people? How can our writing change the world? How can assessment humanize learners? Why do racism, homophobia, sexism, and other systems of oppression persist? She engages learners by drawing on their knowledge and lived experiences in highly collaborative and student-driven discussions. Ultimately, she asks learners to hold up classroom and cultural content and practices as if they were prisms, turning and examining them to let in different light.
Naitnaphit grew up outside Los Angeles, speaks three languages, and has lived in ten United States and two countries. She is delighted to continue to explore the world and learn with and from students and teachers in Norway.
