Jane M. Gangi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Literacy at Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York, where she teaches courses in literacy. She has published one book, Encountering Children’s Literature: An Arts Approach (Allyn and Bacon, 2004), and over a dozen literacy-related articles.
Her research interests are in the relationship between literacy, the arts, culturally responsive pedagogy, and multicultural literature. Currently she is working with Manhattanville College professor Mary Ann Reilly on a book that integrates the language arts and social studies. And, this fall (2007) out of her interest in refugee children’s and young adult literature, she is offering a course on genocide to Castle Honors students.
