Welcome to the Department of Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies


Don Zancanella
LLSS Chair

Society demands that educators and researchers have knowledge of educational foundations, language, literacy, and critical approaches to working with diverse populations.

Courses in the Department of Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies (LLSS) prepare students to be highly qualified teachers and researchers in

  • Language (including bilingual education and English as a second language)
  • Literacy (including reading, writing, language arts, and literature studies)
  • Educational Thought and Sociocultural Studies (including race, class, gender, and sexuality)
  • American Indian Education
  • Social Studies Education

LLSS also offers an interdisciplinary program in Educational Linguistics and a program in Educational Media and Library Science to prepare school librarians.

Our students include teachers (K-College) who enroll in master's degree programs to improve their practice; educators, researchers, and community leaders interested in examining theoretical and empirical elements of education; teachers who enroll in the courses necessary to become endorsed in bilingual education, ESL, reading, or library science; students with backgrounds in professions other than education who wish to work in education-related fields; and students who enter our doctoral program with the goal of becoming college and university faculty and researchers.

In each of our programs—Literacy, Bilingual Education/English as Second Language, Educational Thought and Sociocultural Studies (ETSS), American Indian Education, Social Studies Education, Educational Linguistics, and Educational Media/Library Science—we strive to combine multicultural education and social action to shape educational practice, policy, and research. Our faculty actively effect change through outreach to diverse communities in New Mexico, the nation, and the world.
