Freyca Calderon-Berumen

Freyca Calderon-Berumen works as an Assistant Professor in Elementary and Early Childhood Education at Penn State Altoona. Her research interests are around linguistic diversity and multicultural education through the lens of critical pedagogy as an avenue to address social equity and justice. Her research work privileges qualitative methods as she advocates for seeking in-depth understandings and meanings of phenomena as people experienced them. She wants to continue exploring possibilities for community building for marginalized and under-theorized groups and contributing to the teacher education field by linking theoretical perspectives with everyday experiences and developing culturally relevant understandings.
