StaffSusan Goldin-MeadowPsychology
University of Chicago
 Susan Goldin-Meadow (Ph.D., Developmental Psychology, University of Pennsylvania) is the Bearsdley Ruml Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago where she is a member of the Departments of Psychology and Comparative Human Development and the Committee on Education. A year spent at the Piagetian Institute in Geneva while an undergraduate piqued her interest in the relation between language and thought, interests that she has explored and continues to explore through gesture––the home-made gestures children create when not exposed to language, and the gestures we all produce when we talk (and what they tell us about how we think). She is the founding and current Editor of Language Learning and Development, former Associate Editor of Developmental Psychology and Applied Psycholinguistics, and current Associate Editor of Cognitive Science and Gesture. She was President of the Cognitive Development Society and is currently President of the International Society for Gesture Studies, a member of the Board of Directors for the Association for Psychological Science, and secretary of the Society for Research in Child Development. She served on the Advisory Council for the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communicative Disorders at NIH and was elected to the American Academy for Arts and Sciences in 2005.
