I'm Professor Emerita of Linguistics at the U of Arizona in Tucson. Most of my academic research concerns language and literacy development in hearing or deaf/Deaf children. I've participated in Wikipedia's Education Program twice, the more recent being a [course on theories of language development]. Graduate students in this course worked on articles related to child language that needed various improvements. I'm also interested in public engagement around language and linguistics topics, as well as science communication more broadly. My personal interests emphasize food and drink. Connecting to these interests, I'm a volunteer docent at Mission Garden, a living agricultural museum in Tucson. Also, I've raised several puppies for both Guide Dogs for the Blind and Canine Companions.
