My teaching emphasizes inter-disciplinary approaches. I regularly teach
LING 195, 341 (cross-listed with PSYC and SLHS), 432 (cross-listed with PHIL and PSYC), and
two graduate courses on child language. My research emphasizes syntactic development and children's
processing mechanisms. I'm interested in both universals and particulars that are evident during
children's convergence on the adult grammar. My main collaborators are
Merrill Garrett (Pyschology, U. of Arizona),
Sam Supalla (Disability/Psychoeducation Studies, U. of Arizona),
Dana McDaniel (Linguistics, U.
of Southern Maine), Sigridur Sigurjonsdottir (Icelandic Linguistics, U. of Iceland), and Maider
Huarte (Language and Didactics, Begoņako Andra Mari College of Education, Spain).
I also raise puppies for service dog organizations. My current puppy belongs to Guide Dogs for the Blind . I'm co-raising her with a UA undergraduate. Here's a shot of one Tucson cohort that looks amazingly like the photo on GDB's puppy truck. I've also raised three dogs for Canine Companions for Independence. |
