Leigh Hall
Leigh Hall, a University of Wyoming professor of adolescent literacy, has been invited to participate in the International Literacy Association’s annual “What’s Hot in Literacy” survey for 2021.
Hall, the Wyoming Excellence in Higher Education Endowed Chair in Literacy Education, is one of only 25 researchers worldwide selected to serve in this role, which is a top honor for literacy researchers. The survey helps literacy researchers, educators and policymakers identify emerging trends and current issues in the field of literacy.
“I’m hopeful that my participation with this survey can contribute to the larger discussion of the kinds of research we need to be doing in literacy education,” Hall says. “This survey has the potential to shape what gets prioritized in literacy research and make an impact on the experiences students have in school.”
