Monica Waterhouse

Monica Waterhouse is a Research Associate at the University of Ottawa, where she recently completed her doctorate in Society, Culture, and Literacies. She also teaches courses in second language teaching approaches and critical perspectives on multilingual and multicultural contexts as a part-time professor. Her research interests lie at the intersections of language education, multiple literacies, critical pedagogies, curriculum theory, and Deleuzian geophilosophy. Both nationally and internationally, she presents annually at conferences and publishes in peer-reviewed, open access journals such as Educational Insights, Journal of Curriculum Theorizing, and Transnational Curriculum Inquiry.

Monica’s SSHRC-funded dissertation work focused on experiences of multiple literacies – reading, reading world, reading self, reading peace and violence – in connection with the life experiences of adult learners enrolled in the federal government’s Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) program. Her research continues to examine language learning and teaching as inherently affective, transformative events.
