Samantha Shune, PhD, CCC-SLP, is an Assistant Professor and the Program Director for the Communication Disorders and Sciences Program at the University of Oregon. Her research and clinical interests include the effects of healthy and pathologic aging on the physiologic and psychosocial aspects of swallowing and mealtimes. She is particularly interested in better understanding shared food-related activities as opportunities to therapeutically target improved quality of life for both older adults and their social networks (e.g., family members). In addition to her research, she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in medical speech-language pathology and organizes a community-based swallowing disorders support group.
