Lauren Brown is a teacher of the D/deaf and hard of hearing in St. Louis, Mo. She has worked with a variety of grade-level students. This is her seventh year in the classroom, and second at the high school level. Her role as a teacher of the D/deaf and hard of hearing includes many responsibilities, but what she enjoys most is educating other service providers and teachers on how best to support D/deaf and hard of hearing students, as well as teaching her students the importance of self-advocacy. Through her doctoral studies in language and literacy at UWSP, Lauren is excited to further her research surrounding the intersectionality of language and literacy among students who are D/deaf and hard of hearing and their families. She is specifically interested in research surrounding families of color as well as immigrant families. When not in the classroom, Lauren enjoys volunteering. She is currently a mentor for Sisterhood of Hope, a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting and encouraging high school girls of color. She also enjoys volunteering for Immigrant Home English Learning Program, a non-profit providing free English classes to immigrants and refugees in the St. Louis area.
