with lab director, Dr. Laura Pitts
Swallowing can be something we take for granted. We often do it without thought. But for someone suffering from dysphagia, which is the medical term for a difficulty with swallowing, a small misstep in this seemingly simple task may be at least uncomfortable and sometimes life-threatening. Training and research to reduce and cure dysphagia is happening at the University of Northern Iowa, at the Sertoma Research Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Laura Pitts, an associate professor in the department of communication sciences and disorders. The Sertoma Research Lab is a space where our students and faculty work side by side on innovative research. The lab features several different areas of focus, such as augmentative and alternative communication, swallowing disorders, and voice disorders. 

The Lab also offers specific clinical training using patient simulators: a computerized preterm infant simulator of a baby born prematurely at 27-week gestation and weighing about 2 lbs, known as "Paul" and adult mannequins demonstrating a range of both healthy anatomy as well as laryngeal disorders such as a growth on or swelling of the vocal folds. These simulators are thanks to a grant from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust Fund.  Learn more in the Inside UNI Article.

An Evening with Chuy Renteria

An Evening with Chuy Renteria

Tuesday, September 27, 2022 - 7:00 pm

Iowa native Jesus “Chuy” Renteria is an artist, writer, dancer, and teacher, but above all, he is a storyteller.  Both sides of his family are from border towns in Mexico that transplanted to meatpacking towns in the Midwest. Growing up in West Liberty, he oscillated between the Mexican, Laotian, and small-town cultures that made up Iowa’s first majority-Hispanic town. His coming-of-age memoir, We Heard It When We Were Young: Tales of Growing Up Mexican American in Small-Town Iowa, was released in 2021 by The University of Iowa Press. Renteria tells stories that celebrate the spaces between cultures, of mangled Spanglish and generational clashes, of the messiness of people finding themselves.

Renteria is an Assistant Director for the University of Iowa’s Inclusive Education and Strategic Initiatives Unit. He was the host of The Englert’s Writers of Color Reading Series podcast and published stories in We the Interwoven: An Anthology of Bicultural Iowa: Vol. 1.

This Latinx Heritage Month is sponsored by the Department of Languages & Literatures, the Center for Diversity, Inclusion & Social Justice and UNIdos.
