David Aram Wilson
David Aram Wilson was born in New Mexico, USA, raised in Missouri, then returned to New Mexico, after conducting volunteer work in Côte d'Ivoire and Kenya. He holds a BA in Anthropology, an MA in Education, and a PhD in Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies. For 36 years, David taught various combinations of K-5 classes in the Albuquerque Public Schools, most notably a 3rd-4th-5th grade dual-language classroom for eleven years. Most recently, he accepted a position as a lecturer at the University of New Mexico, teaching courses in bilingual education, TESOL, ESL, and curriculum diversity. David created the podcast Language Goes to School in 2024 in an effort to bring the important work and experiences of bilingual education to wider audiences. In addition to working on the podcast, David enjoys what he calls the Big B's in life: bikes, birds, baseball, beer, and, of course, bilingualism. He lives in Albuquerque with his wife, a teacher, and their two sons.
