Claudio Jaramillo

Claudio is a Ph.D. in curriculum, teaching and learning from OISE, University of Toronto. He has been a teacher educator at the university level for 18 years. He holds an MA in TEFL and has also participated in the Curriculum and Assessment unit of the Ministry of Education in Chile, where he designed the English language curriculum for Grade-11 and 12 of the national curriculum. His research interests focus on understanding in educational settings how neoliberal inequity, specifically in the English language hidden curriculum, relates to students' learning experiences and their teachers' teaching experiences. In other words, how additional language education reproduces and expands those neoliberalism-oriented narratives that make inequity invisible within the curriculum and how school members justify and resist them. Other interests pivot around critical applied linguistics and pedagogy, Freirian approaches to language learning, anti/decolonial approaches to education and curriculum, critical action research, narrative inquiry and critical ethnography in school settings.
