Her work on voice disorders and her clinical protocols are used worldwide. The author of four books and two manuals of voice treatment for pediatric through geriatric patient populations, she has also published extensively in the research journals. She founded the voice clinic at Indiana University which she directed for twenty years. She is active in national and state professional organizations and associate editor of the Journal of Voice. When I spoke to the Indiana University community about a year ago I noted that it had been said that research is what you do and scholarship is what you think about what you do.
Scholarship is more reflective.
Scholarship is the kind of thing that keeps you from seeing everything as a nail, once you've learned to use a hammer. So there is a reflectiveness associated with scholarship that complements or goes beyond research, but they are still tied together. I believe that the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning emphasizes this philosophy. We have the same high expectations for SOTL projects that we have for disciplinary research. Specifically RUGS has provided matching funds for external funding on the scholarship of teaching from federal, private, and individual donors.
