Our cross-disciplinary PhD program explores the principles and dynamics of Language, Literacy, and Culture in connection with social, historical, technological, and ideological frameworks. We champion cultural and linguistic diversity in academic research, practical applications, and policy development, with particular focus on justice, transformation, equality, influence, and personal identity. Faculty in our program engage in multidisciplinary research spanning humanities, social sciences, and education. Collaborations with other UMBC academic departments have positioned our program as a premier hub for knowledge generation and interdisciplinary exploration.
