Dr. Wisnu A. PRADANA is a language teacher educator, researcher, and Fulbright scholar (2017–2019) with over 10 years of experience working with government agencies, schools, and higher education institutions in Indonesia, Australia, the United States, Singapore, and Vietnam. He earned his PhD in Language and Literacy Education and a Graduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Qualitative Studies from the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the University of Georgia, United States. Dr. Pradana’s research focuses on inclusive language literacy practices, particularly for individuals with significant disabilities. Taking a posthumanist approach, he examines how various human and non-human actants—such as technology and the environment—shape literacy experiences and communication beyond traditional human-centered perspectives. Dr. Pradana has extensive teaching experience, including roles with the Department of Education of Western Australia and the Ministry of Education of Indonesia. He has taught English, Indonesian, and language and literacy education courses to learners ranging from school-aged students to university-level participants.
