Biography

Naitnaphit Limlamai, PhD teaches and studies secondary English teacher preparation and how that work manifests justice. Specifically, she investigates how justice is defined, constructed, and enacted in secondary English methods classes and how those ideas travel from university preparation coursework to student teaching classrooms. Her additional interests include how writers develop as such and collaboration. She's recently began studying organizational change through an antiracist lens.

In addition to her research and teaching, Naitnaphit co-chairs the ALAN (Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of NCTE) Mentorship Committee and served as the diversity, inclusion, justice, and equity chair of the Michigan Council of Teachers of English. Before earning her doctorate degree, Naitnaphit taught high school English for 13 years in public and private schools in Florida, Georgia, and New York.

Naitnaphit was also a 2022-2024 Fellow of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Cultivating New Voices among Scholars of Color program.

Naitnaphit loves reading, listening to podcasts, and Netflixing. She would love it if you shared your recs with her.
