About

Chantelle Warner is an Associate Professor of German Studies and Second Language Acquisition and Teaching at the University of Arizona. Her teaching and research interests primarily focus on applied linguistics, literacy studies, stylistics, and foreign language education. Warner's research explores multiple language use as a site of struggle, creativity, play, and resistance. She is particularly interested in the social, aesthetic, and affective dimensions of literacy practices across languages and how these practices are evaluated and valued by speakers and readers, especially those who are relative newcomers to the languages and cultures involved.

In addition to her research, Warner is the founding co-editor of the journal Critical Multilingualism Studies.
