Jason Bishop (Assistant Professor) received his Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of California, Los Angeles, specializing in phonetics and phonology. His recent interdisciplinary research examines how the rhythmic and melodic properties of spoken English relate to individual differences in language comprehension, reading processes, and the autism spectrum. Before completing his dissertation work he was a Fulbright Scholar in Germany, where he taught English and carried out research in the Neuropsychology Department at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig.
