Sangita Sapkota, Virginia Tech
Sangita Sapkota is a doctoral student in curriculum and instruction with a specialization in literacy studies at Virginia Tech. Her research focuses on the reading–writing connection, the teaching of writing, and integrated literacy instruction, with particular attention to how teachers develop and enact knowledge of integrated approaches in classroom practice. Her work further engages cognitive and sociocultural theories to examine how reading and writing function as reciprocal, mutually reinforcing processes. Prior to beginning her doctoral studies, Sangita worked in English language education in Nepal as a secondary school teacher, teacher educator, and college instructor. She earned her degree from Kathmandu University, graduating with the Chancellor’s Gold Medal, and remains committed to advancing research that meaningfully informs literacy teaching across diverse educational contexts.
