2022 Award Recipient

Nelson Flores
University of Pennsylvania

Dr. Nelson Flores is the 2022 recipient of the Early Career Award. Dr. Flores elegantly engages complex theories to elucidate the ways that language practices in academia and beyond reinforce structural racism and neoliberalism in schools. His interrogation of bilingual education and anti-black racism in language education offers new pathways to disrupt neoliberal frameworks and English hegemony in language education policy and practice. He is well deserving of this honor. 

The Early Career Award recognizes a scholar in the early stages of their career no later than 10 years after receipt of the doctoral degree who has conducted a distinguished program of cumulative education research in any field of educational inquiry. The winner of the award will be invited to give the Early Career Award Lecture at the following Annual Meeting.
