Active with the TGDP: 2004-2005
MA in Germanic Studies (UT Austin), BA in German/Management Studies (University of Leeds, UK)
When working with the TGDP, Karen was interested in the language and identity among the Wends of Texas. She thinks this research is very important as it is a way of providing current and future generations with an idea of what life is like for Americans who have experience with a culture other than the dominant one and who grow up speaking languages other than English.
Karen is currently a Lecturer in the Germanic Studies Department at UT Austin.
