Research Interests:
Professor Santoro's research in philosophy and education is blended with feminist theories to inquire into conceptions of teacher education, metaphors of teaching, and the ethical and socio-political implications of various pedagogical approaches. Her background in urban public schools and alternative to incarceration programs also contributes to research questions concerning the intersections of race, ethnicity, language, and gender through the lens of social justice. She has served as a literacy consultant and developed the bilingual education framework for an urban school district.
