From Fall 2024 to Spring 2025, I researched African American Vernacular English (AAVE), or Black English, as part of a training program for peer tutors at the University of Pittsburgh’s Writing Center. I wrote a research paper on how the language is misunderstood and the impacts of only teaching Standard American English (SAE) on Black students in the US. I then translated this research into a poster tying it to the Writing Center, which I presented to peers and faculty.
