About
monét cooper comes to the University of Michigan after serving students and families in the secondary English classroom in DC, Maryland, and Virginia (the DMV). Her scholarship seeks to detail the interior life of African American and Latinx girls and how they encounter their possibility and futurity in school spaces. Additional research interests also include how antiblackness impacts educator relationships with students and families, curriculum and instruction, perceptions of student potential, and education as a practice of liberation. Broadly, she also studies the decisions English educators make in course design, writing instruction and assessment, and how literature written by and about people of color is critically taught in secondary English classrooms. With her friend and fellow educator Erin Thesing, monét also co-hosts Dancing on Desks, a podcast about justice-full, liberatory, and abolitionist teaching and learning.
