Tanya Matthews
Assistant Professor
Tanya Matthews received her B.A. from the University of Utah and completed her M.A. and Ph.D. in Linguistics at Cornell University. Before joining the Cornish faculty, she was an NSF research fellow and carried out interdisciplinary research on youth language, social networks, and categorization. She also worked as a research ethicist at the University of Washington and the Group Health Research Institute, where she provided training and professional development for faculty and students alike. Tanya’s approach to teaching and learning has been greatly influenced by Cornell’s Knight Writing Institute, where she taught discipline-based seminars for first-year students, including an award-winning course on teens and slang. Her research, education, and teaching focus on issues of transition, especially the transition to college. Tanya has a long-standing interest in the arts and is excited to further explore the cognitive conceptual frameworks that help us interpret symbol, color, sound, and movement.
