Wendy W. Murawski

Wendy Murawski, Ph.D., was born in Massachusetts but moved around extensively in her role as Army brat. After living up and down the East Coast and in Texas, Canada, Switzerland, and Germany, she settled in Virginia at the College of William and Mary. She completed her B.A.s in German and Comparative Literature, her Masters in Special Education, and her Ed.S. in Educational Administration. After being told by a faculty advisor that she was becoming "inbred," she moved with her beau (now husband) to California for him to pursue acting and her to complete her Ph.D. While teaching in California, she finished her doctorate at UC-Riverside and then began to teach at California State University, Northridge, where she still works. She now travels without having to be told to by the military. She is a Fellow with the Center for Teaching and Learning, Research Director for the CHIME Institute, and on the Speakers Bureau for Corwin Press and the Bureau of Education and Research (BER). She has a fabulous husband and an amazing 5 year old boy. Her cat is loud and her fish are mean.
