About Leondra.
So here's my, as they say in the business, "short bio":
After growing up in rural Montana, Leondra Hanson earned a BA from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota where she majored in political science and minored in environmental studies and English writing. She continued on to the University of Minnesota Law School where she earned a JD in 1999. After several years practicing and teaching law in the Twin Cities, Leondra became a tenured legal studies professor at a liberal arts college where she now teaches courses across the legal curriculum and chairs the legal studies department. She speaks, trains, and writes about law, feminism, and legal education.
If you want to add a little more, for the "longer bio", you could add:
Leondra is a former director of the Hamline University Center for Justice and Law, a former board member of the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault and has served on the Minnesota State Bar Association Alternative Legal Models Task Force. She has been an active member of the American Association for Paralegal Education. She has also directed the assessment function at her institution which afforded her the opportunity to work with faculty across disciplines to improve student learning by examining their goals and objectives.
Hopefully, most of us are more than the sum of our academic and career paths, so here's a pretty important part:
At home, Leondra and her husband Brent, her bff and college sweetheart, are the parents of three busy and interesting teenagers. She's a hockey fan and on the booster board of the high school theatre program.
And my belief statement should probably make it in there too:
Leondra passionately believes that education begins with conversation and that we all need to take ownership of our own learning about ourselves, each other, and the world.
So there's a bio ... But if you really want to know about me, head over to my blog
Life. Law. Leo. where I will always give it to you straight.
