Nuria Alonso Garcia

Nuria Alonso García is an engaged language educator invested in cultivating culturally responsive practices and building sustainable partnerships. Her work revolves around civic engagement and storytelling, critical language pedagogies and teacher education. She is a Professor in Global Studies at Providence College and directs the M.A. in Global Education & TESOL and the M.Ed. in Urban Teaching. She entered the Applied Linguistics field as an undergraduate in Spain, and throughout her doctoral studies and extensive academic engagement in Latin America, Russia, United States and Western Europe, she has gained a more profound understanding and praxis of how language, identity and cultural constructs intersect. Her research focuses on how culturally responsive practices promote inclusivity in learning and how civic engagement and experiential learning support an ecology of education across borders and foster reciprocal partnerships. She has led narrative projects with at-risk youth and older adults in Latin America, Russia -as a Fulbright scholar- and the U.S. that inform how cultural humility, eloquent listening and language engagement advance cultural participation and equity.
