Our team of Novice Researchers features all the preservice teachers who join LSLP while pursuing their bachelor's degrees. This is the initial stage of research training at LSLP. Here, they learn about qualitative research and literacies while actively participating in the projects form the Community Literacies in L2 (aka #TeamCaL) and Gaming Literacies (aka #TeamLaV) research lines. Through the Novice Researchers, LSLP can continue its collaboration with our university's research education structure.

Former LSLP Researchers Wall of Fame
Since we began in 2012, we have had the privilege of having very committed researchers. Some of them have left the project due to personal reasons or because they wished to pursue their own research agendas. Regardless of their decisions, their participation in LSLP, whether for a few months or several years, made the #LSLPLegion and our research projects stronger. They will always have our gratitude and appreciation for daring to dream big with us. We can only wish all of them the best of luck on all their current and future academic and personal endeavors. They will always be Legion too!
