Research Interests

James Collins Dr. Collins is an anthropologist and linguist whose primary research efforts have been in studies of language and education, especially literacy, and of American Indian languages and cultures, especially Pacific Northwest Athabaskans. Many of his publications have addressed ways of using discourse analysis to understand the dynamics of teaching and learning in socially and culturally diverse urban classrooms and schools. This research has appeared in journals such as the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, Linguistics and Education, Anthropology and Education Quarterly, Journal of Education, and the Journal of Pragmatics, as well as numerous edited collections. In 1989 he received a National Education Academy Spencer Fellowship to study the politics of literacy at the urban university. In 1993-94 he was recipient of an External Fellowship at the Center for Critical Analysis of Contemporary Culture (Rutgers University). He is an investigator in the upcoming "Partners in Literacy" phase of the National Research Center for English Learning and Achievement. He holds joint appointments in the Departments of Reading and Anthropology. He has published the book Understanding Tolowa Histories (Routledge), and is working on Literacies and Literacies: Text, Power, and Identity, a book on the anthropology of literacy.

James Collins teaches the following courses:

ERDG 632 Sociolinguistic Perspective on Literacy
ERDG 715 Analysis of Written Discourse
