Jayne C. Lammers

Dr. Jayne C. Lammers is an Assistant Professor and director of the English Education Teacher Preparation program at the University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education. She holds a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, with an emphasis in Language and Literacy, from Arizona State University. Her research focuses on adolescent literacies and digital media, including a two-year ethnographic study of an online community of Sims fan fiction writers. Jayne continues this line of inquiry in hopes of shaping literacy classrooms into spaces where online/offline and in-school/out-of-school boundaries get blurred and students are engaged in literacies that prepare them for 21st century futures.
