She is particularly interested in literacy education and social justice. She has conducted longitudinal ethnographic studies and collaborative action research with teachers working in high poverty and culturally diverse communities. Her research examines the kinds of teaching that make a difference to young people’s learning trajectories. Her current work explores ethical educational leadership, teachers’ work in literacy classrooms and the affordances of place-conscious pedagogies for developing critical and creative literacies. She has also undertaken an institutional ethnography focusing on mandated literacy assessment and the reorganization of teachers’ work. Her most recent book entitled, Literacy, Place, and Pedagogies of Possibility (available on July 31, Routledge, 2015) explores the positive synergies between critical literacy and place-conscious pedagogy. Dr. Comber draws from rich classroom research demonstrates how theories of space and place and literacy studies can underpin the design and enactment of culturally inclusive curriculum for diverse student communities and provides teachers with ideas on how to design enabling pedagogical practices that extend students’ literate repertoires. She has co-edited a number of books including the International Handbook of Research in Children’s Literacy, Learning and Culture (Hall, Cremin, Comber & Moll, 2013) and Literacies in Place: Teaching environmental communications (Comber, Nixon & Reid, 2007) and Turn-around pedagogies: Literacy interventions for at-risk students (Comber & Kamler, 2005).
