Brown Teacher Reads
Hi! I’m a South Asian-American high school English teacher who loves to “read” and talk about diverse texts, especially those related to South Asia/Asians. You can also find my blog at brownteacherreads.com as well as some resources for teachers based on curricula I’ve developed and taught on multicultural/South Asian texts.
