Michelle Honeyford is an Associate Professor in Language and Literacy in the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba where she teaches courses in English Language Arts, Language & Literacy, Reading, Writing, and Qualitative Research in the B.Ed., M.Ed., and Ph.D programs. Her research interests focus on language and literacy as relational and dynamic, and thus, on the possibilities that are created by texts of all kinds (e.g., spoken, written, visual, multimodal, embodied, artefactual, place-based) in specific intra-actions as well as over time and across contexts. A strong thread of this work is exploring the relationality of language and literacy and identity in education, in the spaces and possibilities of curriculum and classrooms and communities for students and teachers to belong, grow, and flourish. Dr. Honeyford is Co-Director of the Manitoba Writing Project, a professional network for educators interested in writing and social justice. She also leads the Faculty's CanU program, an afterschool program that engages teacher candidates in learning about teaching by creating innovative, interest-driven learning spaces for diverse middle school students. Dr. Honeyford has taught English Language Arts, grades 7-12, in both the U.S. and Canada. Her research has been published in the Journal of Literacy Research, Pedagogies: An International Journal, Literacy, Language & Literacy, Language Arts, Voices from the Middle, and the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy. Dr. Honeyford received her Ph.D. in Literacy, Culture, and Language Education from Indiana University, Bloomington.
