Caroline Jagoe

Assistant Professor in Speech & Language Pathology

Research Interests

My research interests lie in the area of acquired communication disorders, as well as in the area of communication disturbances in adults with mental health disorders. I have a particular interest in the following areas:

• Social approaches to aphasia; harnessing the expertise of people with aphasia as consultants and collaborators in research and teaching
• The cognitive science and neuroscience of acquired communication disorders. I am particularly interested in the application of Relevance Theory to acquired communication disorders
• Language, communication and social interaction in people with schizophrenia
• Bilingual aphasia
• Communication disorders and issues of access in developing and developed countries: Service provision, social barriers and facilitators to participation

Teaching/Supervision

I coordinate the service learning module taken by Junior Freshman students, which involves students visiting people with aphasia living in the community (The ‘Connect’ Conversation Partner Scheme). I coordinate the audiology component of the speech and hearing module taken by Junior Freshman students and contribute to the delivery of the practical component of this module in both the Junior and Senior Freshman years. I teach within modules across the Senior Freshman and Junior Sophister years specifically with regards to the assessment of and intervention with people with aphasia and those with dementia. I contribute to modules on the assessment and intervention in acquired motor speech disorders.
