Harrison, is an honorary fellow and postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin and Language Lecturer at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras. This book form of her major work about a topic to which she is very committed: the effect of schooling and language education policy on children's identity formation. The book also supports the goals of another of her intellectual and personal commitments, which are to promote alternate, non-western or "indigenous" views of education. A study she wrote on Peace Instead of Policy: Indigenous and other Autonomous Utopias in Language Education was published in the book Language Education Policy and Peace (2016), a publication she co-edited with Dr. Francois Victor Tochon. She also explored new ways of Interpreting Language Education Policies: Conceptual, Disciplinary, Indigenous, and Deep Parameters for Multilingual Environments (Co-authored with Dr. Francois Victor Tochon, 2015) which was about finding principles that can be used to evaluate language education policy. Dr. Harrison has taught English in the Middle East, North Africa, and Puerto Rico; and theorized the role of English. Her publication on this topic proposes A Dialectic Between ELF Policy and EFL Teaching in the Circles of English: The Crossroads for Deeper Chords and Constructs. This work was presented at the international conference on English as a Lingua Franca in Istanbul, Turkey. Dr. Harrison's other expertise includes multilingual education policies, the role of pedagogy, and effect on children's identity. Her latest commitment is to the schooling of Muslim children, in particular those who are refugees of Middle East wars, a project that combines her previous experiences and intellectual work. She has raised four daughters and a son alone, who are incredible, while teaching on three continents.
