“Let Me Be A Bridge”: Language Brokering Among Emerging Adult Latina Professionals In The Midwest, Elise M. Dubord

Faculty Publications

In immigrant families, bilingual children and adolescents regularly act as translators and interpreters for family and community members who are not fluent in the dominant language. These childhood language brokers later shift the focus of their translation activities as they transition into adulthood and develop professional skills. This research explores narratives of language brokering trajectories of three bilingual Latinas who were emerging adult professionals in three cities in Iowa. Based on a series of interviews collected over a 15 month period, this analysis examines how participants described realigning their family language responsibilities while simultaneously transferring their language brokering skills to …

LGBTQIA+ Archive Class Projects

Citation: Klinkhammer, B. (2025, April 9). Students make their voice heard at Applied Engineering building opening. Northern Iowan, 2.

This article is a description of a recent protest at the new Applied Engineering Building. Well over 100 UNI students, Cedar Falls High School students, and the Cedar Valley came together to protest Kim Reynolds appearance for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Kim Reynolds failed to appear to give a speech and to help cut the ribbon. I think that in itself is so powerful, to know that she didn't show up because people showed up to protest against someone so …

Access To Special Education Support For Rural Areas, Annamarie Mallory, Zayne Smith, Sam Rohrssen

INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference

Across the globe, students need more individualized education. 750 of the 1.1 million learners in compulsory schools in Sweden attend state-run special schools, and 14,400 attend compulsory schools for learners with intellectual disabilities. Special education, on top of many other issues, is a significant reason for rural schools’ struggling to provide quality education for their students who have learning disabilities. Special Education in the United States and Sweden is often overlooked. In the United States, the number of unqualified teachers in rural areas equals 35%, with 11.4% being special educators. This paper will discuss the most appropriate interventions that provide …

• The purpose of this study was to investigate student attitudes toward the use of AI for college class work in a variety of domains.
