معرفی
Christina Hagedorn is an Associate Professor of Linguistics in the English Department at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York (CSI-CUNY). She directs the Motor Speech Laboratory and focuses her research on disordered speech production, particularly articulatory coordination in apraxic and dysarthric speech, and compensation mechanisms in cancer patients undergoing glossectomy. Her work bridges speech science, linguistics, and clinical applications to improve therapeutic techniques.
Dr. Hagedorn holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Linguistics from the University of Southern California, an M.S. in Communicative Sciences and Disorders from New York University, and a B.A. from Stony Brook University. She completed her clinical training at NYU and holds a Certificate of Clinical Competency in Speech and Language Pathology (CCC-SLP).
Her research interests center on understanding articulatory breakdowns in disordered speech and developing therapeutic interventions. Key areas include:
- Articulatory coordination patterns in apraxic and dysarthric speech
- Compensation mechanisms in post-glossectomy speech
- Biomechanics of vocal tract shaping in speech disorders
- Impact of facial transplantation on articulatory control
- Telecare platforms for speech outcome analysis in oncology patients
Scientific Awards:
- Hearing and Communication Neuroscience pre-doctoral fellow (awarded during Ph.D. at USC)
Dr. Hagedorn's advising and grant activities are not explicitly detailed in the provided materials, though her laboratory and interdisciplinary research likely involve collaborative projects. She is affiliated with the Motor Speech Laboratory at CSI, which investigates cutting-edge approaches to speech production disorders through multimodal data collection and analysis.
