Leonard holds a Ph.D. in Social Science and spends his time studying societies, both past and present, and how the people within them communicate through language, symbols and customs. He teaches at the University of Minnesota, and on Found, he brings a fresh perspective to people and practices spanning a wide array of historical time periods.

Because he considers himself a “people person,” he is thrilled to dive into their personal stories about strange objects they have found and shed light on how their history ties into our collective culture.
