LEEP Goals & Activities:
To provide a forum for dialogue across diverse strands of research in language and education and to establish a resource network for graduate students, faculty and community members. We aim to bring issues of language, equity and diversity to the forefront of educational research, to support our community of emerging scholars, and to bring together faculty within and beyond Stanford to discuss these issues.
