Announcement
As current Chair of the WSCO Research and Publications Committee, Evan Usler has a particular interest in current conceptualizations of stuttering and cluttering across academic traditions, populations, and cultures.
He hopes the Research and Publications Committee can foster the dissemination of knowledge of stuttering and cluttering from a diversity of perspectives and through greater international communications and collaborations.
In recent years, members of this committee have served in the administration of World Congresses, provided editorial duties to Special Issues and Proceedings of the Journal of Fluency Disorders, highlighted the research of various academic teams around the world, have sustained a Junior Research Network for PhD students and early-career researchers in the field, among other contributions.
Over the past couple of years, numerous scholars have served on our committee, including Bert Bast (StotterFonds, Netherlands), Hiwa Mohamadi (Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Iran), Alicia Fernandez-Zuniga (Institute of Language and Development, Spain), Shin Ying Chu (National University of Malaysia, Malaysia), and Robyn Croft (University of Texas at Austin, USA). We thank them and many others who have served in this committee over the years.
