Eddie Rivero, Ph.D., is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Teachers College, Columbia University in the Bilingual/Bicultural Education program. His research examines the linguistic practices, digital literacies, and sociopolitical meaning-making that young people develop through their everyday media and play activities, with a particular emphasis on emergent bilingual youth. Eddie is interested in how teachers can leverage these activities to design culturally responsive and equitable learning ecologies with and for students. Through a sociocultural lens, his scholarly work offers insights into how young people's everyday engagement with digital technologies not only transforms their cognitive and linguistic development but also mediates their understanding of race and power dynamics in contemporary society.
