I will be researching equity in the education of English learners of Hmong descent. My Applied Residency as well as my research will be at Phalen Lake Hmong Magnet School in the St. Paul Public School District. Phalen Lake is a bilingual Hmong EL program and practices in a dual immersion model where students learn academics in two different languages: Hmong and English. Rationale for Committee: I have chosen my committee members as they have the necessary competency and are well immersed in their fields, connecting closely to my research. Dr. O’Neil contributes through her lens of transformative learning, language and culture, and interdisciplinary practices. Dr. Nolet brings his lens in social justice, diversity engagement, equitable practices, and sustainability literacy. Dr. Hones adds his knowledge in social foundations, educational policy, multicultural education, and second and bilingual languages and culture.
