Stephanie N. Del Tufo, assistant professor of education, and F. Sayako Earle, assistant professor in communication sciences and disorders, along with colleague Laurie E. Cutting of Vanderbilt University, had their article "The impact of expressive language development and the left inferior longitudinal fasciculus on listening and reading comprehension" published in the Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Their interdisciplinary longitudinal work found that the onset of expressive language development (e.g., when children begin to babble) predicted reading and listening comprehension from first through fourth grade.
Art history doctoral student Rachael Vause shares her teaching methodology in the first installment of "Teaching and Mentoring," a series in the Medieval Academy of America Graduate Student Committee Newsletter. Discussed in her essay, "But That’s Another Story: Experiences in Teaching and Learning 'Difference,'" Vause teaches students to examine, appreciate and learn from differences among artwork and people, respectively.
