Dr. Pamela H. Segal is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Secondary and Middle School Education in the College of Education. She teaches Using Reading & Writing in the Secondary School (SCED 460) and Reading Seminar (SCED 461) for the Middle School Interns
Dr. Segal researches the connection between academic and athletic literacies in college student-athletes. For example, she has conducted research on the way that college football players perceive their multiple literacies (i.e., school, football, out-of-school) on and off the field/court and what this means for them as both college students and college athletes. Her secondary research focus is on secondary English teacher education in post-apartheid South Africa.
Dr. Segal attended the University of Cincinnati where she received her B.A. in English and her B.S. in Secondary Education. After teaching for several years in Florida, at both the middle and high school level, she went back to get her Masters in Multicultural Literature and Literacies from Florida Atlantic University. Dr. Segal received her doctorate in Reading, from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2013.
