About the author:
Emily Wexler Love completed her doctorate in Educational Foundations, Policy, and Practice at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her research and teaching interests focus on immigrant education and education policy, specifically related to undocumented Latino youth. Using digital storytelling, her research relied on young peoples’ stories to understand how undocumented and documented youth navigate school and community contexts. Her writing has examined youth engagement in protest related to immigrant issues, service-learning partnerships, digital storytelling, and she also authored a chapter about the DREAM Act in Current Issues in Educational Policy and the Law (2008). She works closely with two youth-led organizations in Boulder County and both are doing significant work to educate their community about the experiences of young people and how educators and community members can better support Latino youth. After studying in Chile and Mexico, Emily completed her undergraduate work in Spanish and English at Tulane University in New Orleans.
