​Christine Montecillo Leider, PhD
Teacher Educator. Education Researcher.


Hello! Mabuhay! Hola! Oi! I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Boston.  I'm a proud Filipina-American and second generation immigrant and I grew up in southeast Alaska. I draw on multiple methodologies and theoretical perspectives to explore questions I have based on my experiences as a multilingual student, educator, woman of color, and daughter of immigrants - I tend to think of myself as a Critical mixed methodologist. This page has downloadable links to publications as well as other information about my work.  Follow me on Twitter for updates on education, bilingualism, and policy!

I love teaching and my favorite part about being a professor is working with pre- and in- service teachers. Outside of professor life, I am also an avid skier, biker, board game player, I grow vegetables from seed, and I dream of being on a home cooks version of Chopped (I would not do well, but I still want to do it). You can follow my professor, outdoor, gardening, and cooking adventures (among other things) on Instagram. I live in the Boston area with my husband and our Maine Coon cat.

Thanks for visiting!
