Christina Hagedorn is an Associate Professor of Linguistics in the English Department and director of the Motor Speech Laboratory at CSI. Her research focuses primarily on disordered speech production. Her work aims to shed light on the precise nature of articulatory breakdowns in disordered speech and how this can inform theories of unimpaired speech production, as well as lead to refinement of the therapeutic techniques used to address these speech deficits. Her current research focuses on both articulatory coordination patterns in apraxic and dysarthric speech and articulatory preservation and compensation mechanisms exhibited by oral and base of tongue cancer patients.
She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Southern California, where she was a member of the Speech Production and Articulation Knowledge (SPAN) Group, the USC Phonetics and Phonology Group, and was a Hearing and Communication Neuroscience pre-doctoral fellow. She received her clinical training in Communicative Sciences and Disorders at New York University, and holds a certificate of clinical competency in Speech and Language Pathology (CCC-SLP).
