Writing retreat

3/9/2025

Just got back from a four-day writing retreat with Kimberly Hale, Lisa Sullivan, and three others from far and wide. Worked on revisions for my Word/Voice Gender paper and finished my IRB application for a new SoTL study about my Deaf Lived Experience research/honors course. A very productive getaway!

Students at ASHA Seattle

12/8/2024

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) convention was held in Seattle this year. Two of my grad lab students, Bailey Smith and Athena Kirby, presented posters on their theses. They also attended a dinner in honor of award recipients including our own professor John Tetnowski, who received the Louis M. DiCarlo Award for Recent Clinical Achievement.

OSHA at OSU

10/14/2024

OSU hosted OSHA this year, the Oklahoma Speech-Language-Hearing Association meeting. We had several student and faculty present posters. From my lab, senior Mady Hedge presented on thematic analysis in the DXDX Project, and Bailey Smith and Athena Kirby presented on their master's theses.

Rejoining stance

6/1/2024

I've recently rejoined work on the ATAROS project, which funded my dissertation. A graduating PhD student at the University of Washington, Sara Ng, has been leading related work on the prosodic interactions of information load (new/given info) and stance. Our mutual adviser, Richard Wright, gave several talks in France and Japan during his sabbatical this spring. We wrote a conference proceedings paper for one, and we're working on a journal article for next year.

Undergrad & Freshman Symposia

4/16/2024

Students Mady Hedge, Lynnen Robinson, Mattie Grace Ferguson, Lenna Avance and Chelsea Olender from my DXDX project presented a poster OSU's Undergraduate Research Symposium, and Megan Damico presented hers at the Freshman Research Scholars Symposium last week. Chelsea also defended her honors thesis poster, and Mady also helped present a poster from the Phon Farm lab.

TSHA

2/25/2024

Went to the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association convention for the first time. Three students (Bailey Smith, Grace Adams, Athena Kirby) presented three posters with me and two other professors, John Tetnowski and Tori Courouleau. It was in Ft. Worth, so we took the train from OKC!

NWAV at Queens College

10/16/2023

Went to Queens College for NWAV 51 (New Ways of Analyzing Variation - not so new at 51!). Now-master's student Athena Kirby and I gave a talk showing that the LGBTQ+ listeners in our study were better able to separate perceived vocal gender from conceptual word gender compared to cishet listeners. There were lots of other talks and posters involving gender beyond the binary, with rooms full of very engaged students. Got to see some old friends -- and tourist a bit in Manhattan, too.

OSHA posters x6

10/15/2023

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!

ASA Chicago

5/11/2023

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).
