Souto-Manning has served as Professor of Education at Teachers College, Columbia University and held academic appointments at the University of Iceland and King’s College London.

As she problematizes issues of colonization, assimilation, and oppression in schooling and society, Souto-Manning critically examines theoretical and methodological issues and dilemmas of doing research with communities of color, considering questions such as “critical for whom?” and “according to whom?” Souto-Manning (co-)authored ten books, dozens of book chapters, and over 80 peer-reviewed articles.
