Janine Kennedy holds a BA in English Literature from Fairfield University and an MS in Applied Mathematics from the of University of Colorado at Denver. She was Math Department Chair at Abraham Lincoln High School where she taught Algebra, Precalculus and AP Calculus to ELA- E students from Denver’s Latinx and Vietnamese communities. Her time at ALHS increased her awareness of the complex issues facing migrant and refugee communities, especially those related to documentation and legal status. Additionally teaching mathematics in an ELA-E classroom turned her towards the study of second language acquisition models and techniques, as well as the connections between language, cultural identity and community. She is interested in the way that language learning and literature can open pathways to a greater understanding of all human experience.
