Autor

Trini Stickle, PhD, is an applied linguist at Western Kentucky University. She primarily focuses on factors that negatively affect persons' access to meaningful interaction, including individuals diagnosed with dementia or autism and English language learners. Her work identifies barriers unique to each group and the strategies needed to overcome these difficulties. Stickle is also investigating the aging experiences of immigrant and refugee populations living in southern regions of the US. Lorna E. Segall, PhD, MT-BC, is associate professor and director of music therapy at the University of Louisville. Her research and project development explores intergenerational programming and music in prisons. Additionally, she engages her students in this work in an effort to promote understanding, compassion and humanizing with respect to often misunderstood and underserved populations.
