Brief Biography
Dr. Freire has worked as a professor at Brigham Young University since 2016. Previously, he worked as an Assistant Professor at New Mexico State University for two years. He has also worked as an elementary school teacher for 4 years in Spain and for three years in a Spanish-English dual language bilingual education program at an urban school in Utah.
In 2014, Dr. Freire completed his Ph.D. at the University of Utah with a dissertation focusing on the beliefs and practices of Spanish-English dual language bilingual education teachers learning how to enact culturally relevant pedagogy. His research interests concentrate on equity in dual language bilingual education with a line of research looking at multicultural teaching practices and a second line looking at language education policies in dual language bilingual education.
