ABOUT HER

Peggy’s research areas focus on two primary areas of inquiry. Her first area of research is studying special populations in literacy such as students who face challenges in reading and bilingual learners.
Second, she has a longstanding area of scholarship surrounding online education. As an integrated scholar, this line of research informs both her teaching and service. This area also encompasses the study of multimodal and digital learning, including socially-distributed knowledge sharing that takes place online, distributed cognition, and video-mediated (e.g., YouTube) discussion and dialogue.
