Before coming to Teachers College in 1992, Vinz taught high school Literature and Humanities courses for twenty-three years. She is the author or co-author of 14 books and numerous articles on teacher learning and knowledge, literacy pedagogies for literature and writing instruction, and two books that focus on writing qualitative and narrative research.

English Education is the journal of the Conference on English Education (CEE), a constituent organization of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE). The journal serves teachers who are engaged in the preparation, support, and continuing education of teachers of English language arts/literacy at all levels of instruction. Her current research interests and writing include inquiry into teachers’ narratives as examples of living educational theories and pedagogies, the development of narrative inquiry methodologies, and ethical inquiry in a transnational world.
