- School of Education
Gresilda A. Tilley-Lubbs is an associate professor emerita of ESL and Multicultural Education in the School of Education at Virginia Tech.
Her research is informed by critical autoethnography, which combines critical pedagogy and autoethnography, as she interrogates the role of her own whiteness, power, and privilege in preparing teachers and researchers to work in immigrant and refugee communities, and as she conducts research with participants in vulnerable and marginalized communities. Her research listens to the voices of Mexican immigrants through the perspective of transnational (auto)ethnography, integrated with critical autoethnography, which combines critical pedagogy and autoethnography. Her work has been published in both English and Spanish in the United States, Spain, and Mexico. She teaches courses on critical autoethnography and multiculturalism for the Institute of Critical Pedagogy in Chihuahua, Mexico, and she provides seminars and workshops for various universities through her involvement with international scholars.
