Biography
Shireen Keyl is an associate professor at Utah State University in the School of Teacher Education and Leadership where she teaches Foundations of Education, Diversity in Education, and Anthropology of Education. Her research interests are in nonformal education related to refugee and migrant education. She utilizes decolonizing and critical praxis and engages in activist-oriented research with non-governmental organizations especially as it relates to English as a Foreign Language education and community-led research. She has focused on refugee and migrant populations’ ways of knowing and how that intersects with community education. Her research and teaching, critical in their orientation toward attempts to work for social justice, stem from her experiences as an educator in the United States and in the Middle East region. Shireen was a Fulbright scholar in Amman, Jordan and has completed fieldwork in Lebanon, Turkey, and Iran as well.
