Our President
Much of my research has focused on student motivation and how classroom factors and culture influence the academic motivation of adolescents and early adults. I am particularly interested in differences between first, second, and third-generation students in motivation and achievement. My recent work has examined teacher identity, teacher emotions, and teacher-student relationship quality. Currently, I am conducting a mixed-method study examining how teacher identity and emotions influence the quality of teacher-student relationships in the U.S., Greece, and Germany.
