Grace Sanko is a Master’s student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where she researches K–12 language and literacy interventions with a focus on equitable instruction for multilingual learners and students with diverse needs. She holds dual Bachelor’s degrees in English Literature and Public Policy and Law, with a concentration in Educational Policy, from Trinity College in Hartford, CT, where she also published her thesis, The Feminist Gothic Journeys of Shirley Jackson.
