bilingual and multilingual education, teacher education, rural education, equity and social justice
Dr. Maria Coady is the Goodnight Distinguished Professor in Educational Equity and a Professor of Multilingual Education at North Carolina State University. She received her doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she studied bilingualism and bilingual education. Using a lens of equity and place, Dr. Coady examines multilingualism and bilingual education, rural education, teacher-leader preparation, and language policies. In addition to the United States, she has prepared educators in countries such as Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, China, Ireland, and South Africa. Her books include The Coral Way Bilingual Program (2020), Connecting School and the Multilingual Home: Theory and Practice for Rural Educators (2019), Why TESOL (5th ed., 2018, with E. W. Ariza). Her edited books are Early Language Learning Policies in the 21st Century (with S. Zein, 2021) and Educating Multilingual Students in Rural Schools: Illuminating Diversity in Rural Communities in the United States (with P. Golombek and N. Marichal, 2023). Dr. Coady consults with the US Department of Justice and Office for Civil Rights on language and educational rights for multilingual learners and families. In 2020 she was awarded the AERA for Exemplary Contributions to Practice-Engaged Research. In Fall 2021 she served as Distinguished Chair in the Humanities and Social Sciences at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland with the US Fulbright Commission.
