Dr. MICHELLA BASAS
Associate Professor, Director of Center for Teaching and Learning
Dr. Basas earned her Ph.D. in Special Education with a cognate in Literacy and Language and a focus on Deaf Education in 2014 as a fellow of the National Leadership Consortium on Sensory Disabilities from Michigan State University, East Lansing. This followed an M.Ed. in Special Education (with a focus on Deafness and Deaf Education) from the University of Hawai`i, Manoa in 2007 and a B.A. in Deaf Education and Elementary Education from Flagler College in 2000.
Dr. Basas’ research interests include content area reading practices and pedagogy as they relate to adolescent readers who are D/deaf and hard of hearing. She also has an interest in exploring critical pedagogy, critical literacy, and social justice within the context of k-12 education.
Dr. Basas is currently working on developing ways to foster philosophical partnership across professionals, parents, and members of the D/deaf community as they relate to linguistic and educational options for students who are D/deaf or hard of hearing through The Radical Middle project. More information about this project can be found at radicalmiddledhh.org.
