Dr. Amee Shah, comprises of a team of students and collaborating speech-language pathologists
and speech scientists.

Mission
- This lab is a space for conducting research, as well as serving as a space of engagement for faculty, students, and clinicians interested in cross-cultural aspects of spoken communication.
- We specialize in the study, measurement, and management of dialect and accent variations.
- We are committed to helping reduce bias and breakdown in communication across cultural and linguistic differences through our research, education, and training.
- Our methods include speech-science based techniques of acoustic analysis, speech editing, audio and video interview, and ethnographic surveys.
- We also focus on social and clinical applications of our findings in community outreach, and developing industry-based programs for diversity management.
