Undergrad symposium4/18/2022 Two juniors on my Deaf Experience, Deaf Expression (DXDX) Project, Bailey Smith and Mary Vang, prepared and presented a poster at OSU's first annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. Their flow chart illustrates the tasks that students in my lab and honors courses have completed while "Building the Deaf Experience, Deaf Expression (DXDX) Project." See their poster and abstract here: https://shareok.org/handle/11244/335224. Outstanding Junior & McNair Scholar3/18/2022 Two students on my DXDX project have received prestigious awards! Bailey Smith was named a College of Arts and Sciences Outstanding Junior, and Mary Vang was accepted to the McNair Scholars program. They have both been active in multiple aspects of the project, getting experience with all stages of research. The McNair program includes an intensive summer institute where Mary will draft a lit review and methods proposal for an honors thesis, as well as attend conferences and prepare for applying to grad schools. Both plan to graduate next year.

ASA online6/8/2021 This week, I'm giving two talks at the Acoustical Society of America spring meeting, which is all online this year. ASA has two conferences a year, usually almost 5 weekdays each, but this time, it's three days, all online, focusing on one theme per day, with panels of invited pre-recorded talks followed by submitted live 5-minute lightning talks. The topics are great:

Three Spring Defenses5/4/2021 Three of my students successfully defended their work this spring!
Community Engagement Grant4/14/2021 The DXDX project is growing! I was just awarded a Community Engagement Grant to support expanding the project to include deaf teens/tweens and their parents during next school year. We'll collect interviews with kids and families in partnership with the Oklahoma School for the Deaf, which uses American Sign Language, and Hearts for Hearing, which provides speech and hearing therapy to kids who use speech. We'll also work on tagging clips from the interviews to showcase the wide variety of real-life stories on our new website: dxdx.okstate.edu
Master's defense & MNSHA3/4/2021 My master's student Madison has successfully defended and submitted her thesis, A multifactor comparison of pragmatics, social relationships, and discrimination among individuals with hearing loss! She will also present her results at the Minnesota Speech-Language-Hearing Association online convention. This is the first paper to come out of the DXDX project, and Madison's surveys form the foundation for our next research questions into relationships between sociolinguistic experience and quality of life among people with early hearing loss.
