In this episode we discuss restoration and healing with Dr. Gholnecsar (Gholdy) Muhammad, who is an Associate Professor of Literacy, Language, and Culture at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She studies Black historical excellence within educational communities with goals of reframing curriculum and instruction today.
Dr. Muhammad’s scholarship has appeared in leading academic journals and books, including Research in Teaching English, Urban Education, Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, Language Arts, and Written Communication. Some of her recognitions include the 2014 recipient of the National Council of Teachers of English, Promising New Researcher Award, the 2016 NCTE Janet Emig Award, the 2017 GSU Urban Education Research Award, and the 2018 UICxpertise. Having served as a middle school teacher, literacy specialist, school district administrator, and school board president, gave Dr. Muhammad the experience to write the best-selling book Cultivating Genius: An Equity Model for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy. She also co-authored the book, Black girls’ literacies: An Edited Volume, published by Routledge.
By working with teachers, leaders, parents, and youth across the United States and South Africa in best practices in culturally and historically responsive instruction, the Historically Responsive Literacy/Culturally & Historically based framework significantly influenced educational practice in 2021.
