P
atricia Baquedano-López's interests include the study of language socialization, classroom discourse, learning, and literacy practices in schools, after-school programs, and home and work communities. Her research is ethnographic and uses discourse analytic methods to investigate the ways in which language can be a resource for learning and for developing academic literacies. Her research has examined the language socialization and literacy practices of Spanish-speaking students enrolled in religious instruction in Catholic churches and local public schools. She has also investigated the language socialization practices of English-speaking children who receive care from Spanish-speaking Latina nannies. Her more recent project is a study of the process of adaptation as central to classroom learning and interaction in 3d and 4th grade science inquiry lessons. She is Interim Chair of the Center for Latino Policy Research and she is Co-convenor of the Center for Urban Education (CUE). In 2004 Professor Baquedano-López received the UC Berkeley Distinguished Faculty Mentor Award. She was a fellow of UC ACCORD (All-Campus Consortium on Research for Diversity) from 2001-03, a UC President's Post-Doctoral Fellow from 1998-99, and a Spencer Dissertation Year Fellow from 1997-98. She is a member of the advisory board of the Journal of Latinos in Education and serves or has served on the editorial board of the Reading Research Quarterly, Language Arts and the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology.
