Ashley K. Dallacqua

Ashley was first introduced to comics by her husband, who hooked her on Jeff Smith’s Bone series. This is a series she shared with her fifth graders as a teacher in Ohio. Before earning her doctorate at The Ohio State University, she taught fifth grade for seven magical years.  Ashley is currently an Assistant Professor in the land of enchantment at University of New Mexico. She works closely with teachers and young adults, supporting the integration of new texts (especially comics!) and literacy practices into school spaces.
