Carmen Liliana Medina studies literacy education through a critical and decolonial lens, with a strong focus on Puerto Rican and Latinx children, youth, and communities. Her work examines how reading, drama, improvisation, and popular culture (such as telenovelas and children's literature) can support critical and anticolonial approaches to teaching and learning. She also engages with questions of educational reform, multilingual education, and social justice.
