On Thursday, March 23 at 3pm Ashley Glassburn will discuss her recent work in a lecture entitled “Thinking, Writing, Speaking Myaamia: Language reclamation for life-long learners.”

Glassburn explores why she and her team completely rewrote all their teaching materials in the last two years and are now basing their approach to writing around core language models developed for Augmentative and Alternate Communication practices originally designed for use with adults with severe expressive communication differences.

Presented by the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, the event will be held in room 268, Dillon Hall, and is open to all
