Maureen Matarese is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Borough of Manhattan Community College, CUNY. A graduate of Teachers College, Columbia University with a doctorate in International Educational Development (Language, Literacy, and Technology), she has focused her work around issues of sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and literacy in multicultural, institutional settings. She has taught on the graduate level at Teachers College and at Long Island University, teaching courses in Sociolinguistics, TESOL, and Bilingual Education, and on the undergraduate level she taught Freshman Composition at North Carolina State University, and she teaches Academic Critical Reading and Language & Culture (LIN100/ANT115) at BMCC. She also taught ESL, Literacy, and GED Preparation in a transitional homeless shelter in Washington Heights, where she worked for many years. Professor Matarese's research focuses on sociolinguistics and discourse analysis. She has conducted sociolinguistic research in North Carolina, West Virginia, the Bahamas, and in New York City, and she has conducted qualitative research on teacher response techniques (particularly when students use nonstandard dialect features in their writing). Discourse analysis, and specifically institutional linguistic ethnographies, are her area of expertise. In this vein, she has conducted research on caseworker-client interaction in a New York City shelter. That study speaks to the ways in which institutional hierarchies and their policies are enacted in everyday practice by street-level bureaucrats who negotiate between the needs of the client and the needs of the administration/policy. This research additionally speaks to the ways in which language diversity (Spanish language) were addressed in everyday practice by individual caseworkers. This research has implications for both policy and practice, as well as for street-level bureaucrats of other institutional types (e.g. school teachers). She is currently working on a linguistic ethnography in Academic Critical Reading classrooms. Professor Matarese has published within and outside the field of (socio)linguistics and has presented at many national and international academic conferences where her work has been well received. In all facets of her work, she has worked with linguistic minorities (and/or minoritized languages/dialects), and she continues to be interested in exploring the relationship between institutions, talk, policy, and practice.
