Dr. Azzarito’s research examines the links among young people’s issues of embodiment, identity, and inequality from a pedagogical, sociocultural, and critical perspective. Her related research interests include the theorization and application of visual methods in education; the examination of the ways in which the intersection of dominant discourses of gender/sex, race/ethnicity, (dis)ability, and social class informs youth’s embodiment, and their construction and expression of the moving body with creativity; visual pedagogies; and curriculum theory. Dr. Azzarito’s current projects consider the critical and transformative aspects of using participatory visual research methods with and for young people in school contexts. She is particularly interested in studying visual methods as a means for exploring and representing youth’s embodied identities, and making sense of their moving body in their daily lives. The interdisciplinary nature of her research brings together art education, visual studies, curriculum theory, and physical culture studies. Her research is informed by a wide range of theories, including constructivism, feminist post-structuralism, CRT, Intersectionality, and post-colonialism.
