Dr. Dolly Jenkins is an elementary literacy specialist with over a decade of teaching experience. She earned her masters from Harvard Graduate School of Education in language and literacy and a doctorate of Education from Teachers College Columbia University with a focus in elementary literacy education. Dolly’s research focuses on the nexus of neoliberal education reform, teachers as autonomous professionals, social media as a site of professional learning and inclusive literacy education. On social media, Jenkins advocates and educates for gender inclusive language and practices as well as size and gender inclusive fashion, rooted by the belief that queer and trans youth and the larger LGBTQ+ community ought to have safer spaces where they can not just survive but thrive.
