About
Dr. Tracey T. Flores is a literacy scholar whose work centers on family and community literacies, particularly among Latinx and bilingual families. Her research explores how out-of-school literacy practices—rooted in cultural and linguistic heritage—can be honored and integrated into classroom instruction. Dr. Flores is best known for developing the *Somos Escritoras/We Are Writers* program, a transformative writing workshop that invites Latina girls and their mothers to share stories, strengthen identity, and build community through authentic, culturally sustaining literacy practices. This work has been widely cited (her most-cited paper, with 23 citations, is a 2023 intergenerational dialogue on generative AI and composing among literacy scholars) and has influenced both theory and practice in family literacy, bilingual education, and culturally sustaining pedagogies. Her contributions have been recognized through national awards and invitations to speak at major conferences. Dr. Flores’s scholarship challenges deficit narratives about multilingual families and offers a powerful model for reimagining literacy education as a collaborative, culturally affirming practice.
