This spring, Karee Garvin will join OSU linguistics as our newest assistant professor. Karee received her PhD from UC Berkeley in 2021, and has since held postdoctoral positions at the University of Delaware and Harvard. Her work has focused most on theory and methodology in phonetics, phonology, and their interface, looking at coordination and rhythm in the articulation and perception of segmental and suprasegmental phonological entities, with broader contributions in areas such as typology, documentation, and TAM marking. She has been deeply involved in the development of Q-theory, a model of triune subsegmental representation, and has led research in the lab with allophonic priming and electromagnetic articulography, and in the field documenting and analyzing indigenous languages of the Americas (Shoshoni, Mam Mayan) and Africa (Nafaanra, Medʉmba). This breadth extends to her variegated teaching portfolio, with experience teaching phonetics, phonology, morphology, acquisition, endangerment, and sociolinguistics, at three institutions. We are excited to welcome her into our department!
