Rebecca Lorimer Leonard studies how people use multiple languages to write. Her research asks why schools, workplaces, or communities may overlook the rich writing practices multilingual people use in their daily lives. As a PEP fellow, Lorimer Leonard will partner with local nonprofits to write materials for education policymakers and practitioners that build on the strengths that multilingual people bring to writing situations.
