It shows how papers, such as visas, passports, and greencards, shape immigrants' access to the American Dream. It won an honorable mention in the 2017 Conference on College Composition and Communication's Outstanding Book Award Competition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498080899454-P1FPF6ZHO4PAG6J78NHZ/image-asset.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498081031074-4M4LGJVRGEHQX0CBD4C5/image-asset.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498080984689-XFUCDMB3YYDUPGYK6JNB/image-asset.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498509928617-SBLEK51A1TQSU8VLXJO8/image-asset.png Projects - Table of Contents https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1582667145286-PGV3WB97STV87UPVS84D/Screen+Shot+2020-02-25+at+3.45.26+PM.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498508316464-PIMH4S9LSMX6ML5WYWAR/Braziol.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498508294017-X12W54BKBNYOADK8OWKU/Latvia.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1502149924462-JFBG29OZR2JQ3XJK6UCS/image-asset.jpeg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1501624802115-XN35EWZZVBV90XU5OSDL/image-asset.jpeg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1582666412963-ZCFAPSDDUMB9GD60Z78A/image-asset.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1501625267864-R6TNR7T27E51EKDXFHVJ/image-asset.jpeg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498506295292-OJEJP6CGIQCY599W5QTX/image-asset.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498506370282-KS14DZYEO1PB3AR233BK/used.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498506512066-UG2NYHDGJYTCR44PZ2O7/image-asset.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498506562831-6KKXZW380Y07ZE2XC68E/image-asset.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1501631274085-AHHBDR5AMTHMM2XAA78S/KateTransparent.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1582667382120-AZE4OCGYRB6EGE0UPCXL/PAZ+-+ESCRIBIENDO+UN+CORAZO%CC%81N+COMU%CC%81N.jpg Projects - Writing for Peace Situating their concerns in contexts of war, educational injustice, and white supremacy, English studies scholars have been asking variations of a similar question for decades: Is it possible to teach English/writing/ literature/language so that people stop killing each other? (Hassan quoted in O’Reilly, 1984 and 1989; Wagar, 2015; Winn, 2018; Inoue, 2019). In a series of community-engaged studies, collaborators and I shift the question slightly to ask: Under what conditions might writing promote peace? These studies are characterized by two key principles: • Peace is not only the absence of violence, but instead is defined as the conditions of justice, equality, and trust that are created in communities through everyday practices; and • It is not writing or the teaching of writing in itself that builds peace. Instead it is people who, in complex and situated practices, within particular historical legacies and communities, make creative use of writing’s affordances for social change. But how do people use writing to accomplish these ends? This question—one that implicates texts, people, practices, and socio-historic contexts—demands community-engaged ethnographic answers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1582667869143-SD993PTX4IZOQIUT2FUE/image-asset.jpeg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1582668181233-BGOS01RMN4KVL585Z4J1/manwithpencilforwritingforpeaceimage.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1582668423006-76X9E6T2CTZHCBTQREDJ/correodecolibrioption2.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1582668694813-RWWMN1Q3ZJL0FC381VJS/gabbipic.JPG Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1582669200151-HXK7TX88VVBX2L6421MI/1E53BE14-C3ED-4FF1-869D-E52259E7169A.JPG Projects https://www.katevieira.com/writing-in-the-world daily 0.75 2025-06-02 https://www.katevieira.com/writing-in-the-world/2025/6/2/writing-for-peace-will-be-a-bilingual-book monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/de558705-e713-4e79-945e-d1d0b1adac7e/Screenshot+2025-06-02+at+10.19.52%E2%80%AFAM.png Writing in the World - Writing for Peace--will be a bilingual book! - Make it stand out The hotdog in front of the empty chair is mine.

The dissertations I direct include studies of the writing practices of: people recovering from aphasia, basic writing students, those who write for pay, African American computer coders, university custodial workers, high school students in a social-justice oriented English class, and community hip-hop artists. I seek to help students grow their most deeply felt commitments, so that they can make their most impactful research contribution. When graduate students do their best work, our whole field benefits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/a06648ae-9aea-46df-bc95-1546615ac7f2/Screenshot+2025-05-29+at+6.00.17%E2%80%AFPM.png Graduate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.katevieira.com/graduate-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498530690789-I7T2HYEAS6P1MM4LUZM4/UG.png Teacher Education https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5925a46f59cc680cfbb4e614/1498531159708-U3L7UI082MDHNGYEK64P/image-asset.jpeg Teacher Education - TEACHER EDUCATION I am committed to working with pre-service teachers to develop deep foundations in theories of literacy and approaches to teaching it equitably.
