About this Event
Dr. Betina Hsieh (@ProfHsieh) is a professor and the director of teacher education for the LaFetra College of Education at the University of La Verne. At the heart of Dr. Hsieh’s work is the exploration of how who people are shapes what they do (and the choices they make) as educators. She is deeply committed to creating more equitable spaces as a teacher educator that promote the success, sustenance and empowerment of teacher candidates from marginalized subgroups both through their teacher training and as they enter classroom spaces. Dr. Hsieh’s current research interests include identity-informed mentoring in teacher education spaces, the emergence and development of a teacher (and teacher educator) professional identity, Asian American MotherScholars, and the experiences of teachers of color. Her recent publications include articles in Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education, English Teaching: Practice and Critique, Literacy Research and Instruction, Journal of Diversity in Higher Education and the Journal of Teacher Education. Outside of work, Dr. Hsieh is a wife and mother to 4 children (ages 5-30) and a small dog. She runs half marathons and loves delicious food. She’s actively involved in her church’s social justice committee and gospel choir, and every so often, she tries to get some sleep. She is constantly pursuing better work-life balance and boundary setting.
