Myrrh Domingo studies language and literacy development in the context of digital technologies and globalization. Her research explores the migration of people, their cultural texts, and their linguistic identities across physical and digital communities. She was a recipient of a National Academy of Education Pre-doctoral Adolescent Literacy Fellowship from the Carnegie Corporation of New York; this award supported her dissertation regarding bridging the in-school and out-of-school literacy practices of urban immigrant youth to promote socially and culturally responsive pedagogy. Her recent publication appears in The International Journal of Social Research Methodology and features her focus on ethnographic and multimodal research methods to understand new ways in which transcultural reading and writing transpires in digital and online platforms. She is also currently working with international scholars on The Sage Handbook of Digital Dissertations and Theses, a project funded by the United Kingdom’s Economic Social Research Council that examines the influence of multimodality and e-learning on the shifting nature and design of doctoral theses.
