Jon Wargo began his PhD studies in teacher education in 2011. He received an University Enrichment Fellowship to study under Django Paris, PhD and Dorothea Anagnostopoulos, PhD. He got started on his professional career in the Teach For America program in Colorado, first as a kindergarten teacher and later as Program Director. Jon returned to school to study the way that language and literacy shape LBGTQ students’ identities. He describes his relationship with his advisor as “reciprocal,” in that they both hope to learn from each other. Prior to coming to MSU he received a BA in English language & literature, and gender & sexuality studies from Indiana University in 2008.
