Dr. Brauser is a Professor of Education. Knowing our society’s youth are frequently “Enduring Schools,” she has been committed to transforming those experiences. Starting as a New York City middle school English teacher, and continuing her connection to students, classrooms, and schools, she conducts research and consult with settings individually, with colleagues, and with doctoral students. Her research approaches typically use qualitative, ethnographic, and hypothesis-generating lenses. Her participation in professional organizations includes conference chair and executive board memberships in the NCTE Conference on English Education, Chair of the NCTE Standing Committee on Reading, and frequent national and international conference presentations. She continues to be energized and optimistic about contributing to schooling as a positive experience for students and teachers. At this writing, she is seeking to understand more about issues such as charter schools, new technologies, the teaching-learning connection in general and teacher education in particular.
