Current Research and TeachingDr. Budwig's research examines issues of the construction of knowledge and human development. Trained in the areas of human development and the inter-disciplinary study of language, thought, and culture, Budwig examines issues of the development of knowledge and the role that participation in communities of practice plays in the gradual construction of meaning systems. Her research on language acquistion aims to understand the protracted nature of the organization and development of linguistic forms and the functions they serve in everyday interaction. Her work on language socialization examines ways participation in language practices contributes to the construction of culturally relevant senses of personhood.
