OSHA posters x610/15/2023 More than a dozen OSU students presented posters at the Oklahoma Speech-Language-Hearing Association conference this weekend. Four posters came from students in my DXDX project, one was on our word/voice gender project, and one was a study proposal from my Evidence-Based Practice class. Other OSU labs also presented work, as did labs from other universities -- the largest poster session in years! Tenure!7/1/2023 It's official: I'm now a tenured associate professor!
news.okstate.edu/articles/communications/2023/regents_approve_personnel_actions_june_23.html DUE6/30/2023 I will soon be my department's first Director of Undergraduate Education. This will be a new step into administrative duties, and I hope it will allow us to take a big-picture view of our curriculum and student needs.
Graduations and Awards5/14/2023 Several students from my lab graduated this weekend, and many have received awards this year. I gave five cords for undergrad contributions to research, and two of my students were named Top 10 Seniors in the college, with each also receiving departmental awards. Four were offered full funding to our graduate program, and three accepted, with the fourth headed to another university. See more about them on the Lab Members page. ASA Chicago5/11/2023 I had a good time at the Acoustical Society of America conference in Chicago. I participated in an invited panel with my co-author Sara Loss that Ben Munson organized about infusing social justice into acoustics pedagogy. We showed the sad null results we've gotten so far on our quest to find classroom interventions to help undergrads understand international instructors better (both in terms of intelligibility and attitudes). We got some good ideas for next steps, and we're not ready to give up yet (maybe we're measuring something different from what we're affecting). Lessons for Success4/26/2023 I participated in ASHA's Lessons for Success program, a three-day intensive grant-prep workshop. Their Pathways program was similar a few years ago, with a focus on writing your first grant. LfS focuses on the grant-review process, including mock reviews of participants' past unfunded grants - very useful experience! I also enjoyed getting to know my colleague Roha Kaipa better, as we flew together and got rerouted to avoid storms coming back.
Undergrad Research Symposium4/18/2023 Seven of my students presented four posters at the OSU Undergraduate Research Symposium: two from my Deaf Experience, Deaf Expression (DXDX) Project, one from a project on word gender, and one for her senior thesis. See more on the Projects page. Accepted to ICPhS3/30/2023 My paper with my former student Molly Landers (now a PhD student at Michigan State) has been accepted to the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences in Prague this August! It outlines several Possible back prelateral mergers in Oklahoma.
