Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Current research involves the persistence of neuromyths and how they affect the education of pre-service teachers and the development of literacy and comprehension programs for school curricula.  I'm utilizing Everett Rogers (1995) Diffusion of Innovations to examine the barriers between reading neuroscience and colleges of education, primarily in early childhood and special education programs.  Other research interests are in concept imagery when reading to learn, dual coding theory, and physiological markers of transportation when consuming narratives.
