  • Research: Professor Smith's research focuses on language and literacy learning and education in multilingual schools and communities. Drawing on linguistics, history, anthropology, sociology, and language planning, his work has contributed to scholarly knowledge and practical applications in the areas of (1) dual language or two-way immersion education; (2) school and community literacies in Central Mexico; (3) Mesoamerican indigenous literacies and contemporary literacies in Mexico; (4) transnational and immigrant literacies in the U.S.; and (5) the language and literacy practices of Texas border colonia communities.
    Teaching: Professor Smith teaches courses in educational linguistics, second language literacy, bilingual education foundations, and Bilingual/ESL methods. His doctoral courses address topics in Biliteracy/Multilingual Literacies; Biliteracy and Human Capital; and Introduction to Language.
  • Research: Katie's scholarship focuses on icons and the iconic, especially popular phenomena at the intersections of literature, music, and film.

    Her recently published book, Blackbird: How Black Musicians Sang the Beatles into Being-- and Sang Back to Them Ever After is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Blackbird is co-authored with Jon Marc Smith.

    Katie's first monograph is about melodrama in girl culture and uses Twilight and Jane Eyre as touchstones.

    In addition to many chapters and articles, Katie has also published two edited collections about the Beatles, and her current projects focus on Disney, pop music (Taylor Swift and Beyoncé), and mermaids.
  • Dr. Heather Lynn Smith Associate Professor - Anthropology
    Research: My research focuses on Paleoindian adaptation and dispersals during the environmental reorganization that accompanied the Pleistocene-Holocene transition across North America, with a specialization in prehistoric stone tool (lithic) analysis. Methodologically, I examine patterns in lithic technology using a concert of quantitative, 3D and 2D digital imaging, and digital methods of shape and spatial analyses: Geometric Morphometrics, Cladistics, and GIS. Paleoenvironmental and geoarchaeological data are also important components of my research.

    As a field scientist, investigation into late Pleistocene archaeology has enabled me to be involved in projects across Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Alaska, and Siberia. My training in Texas Archaeology began as an undergraduate at the University of Texas working for Dr. Steven Black on the Texas Beyond History project, for which I am now an Associate Editor. As a graduate student at Texas A&M I began working with curated Paleoindian materials for my M.A. thesis at the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory and have since examined hundreds of artifacts at a variety of institutions across the nation. I have worked for CRM firms in Texas, Colorado, and Alaska, and contracted or collaborated with state and federal agencies in New Mexico, Nevada, and Alaska.

    My current research projects involve laboratory analyses as well as new and continuing fieldwork. Ongoing laboratory projects involve 3D scanning Paleoindian projectile points, which contribute to multiple projects. One of these is the Blackwater Draw 3D Scanning Project, the goal of which is to generate 3D scans of diagnostic lithic artifacts recovered from the site to create a cohesive and complete collection on a digital platform. Another examines the origins and spread of Dalton Projectile Points to address how hunter-gatherers rebuilt and reestablished cultural connections throughout the Eastern Woodlands after the social isolation associated with the Younger Dryas using 2D and 3D artifact images and geometric morphometrics to examine patterns in morphological and technological attributes. Lastly, analyses of the lithic and osseous assemblages recovered from the Serpentine Hot Springs site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, are ongoing. Field projects include a geoarchaeological survey of Spring Lake, San Marcos, Texas, to examine stratigraphy across the site, how the site was differentially used across the landscape and through time, as well as relationships to other sites in central Texas. Other field projects include continued monitoring of the San Ysidro Rockshelter site in San Ysidro, New Mexico. Each of these projects have opportunities for students to participate and data available to form MA and PhD projects. Contact me for more information: To.Heather.Smith@txstate.edu
    Teaching: My goal is to equip students with the necessary skills and experience in fundamental and state-of-the-art methodologies that will ensure acquisition of higher-level management positions, and the effectiveness of contract proposals and research designs. It is crucial that students entering CRM with an M.A. or Ph.D. are skilled in survey, digital mapping and spatial analysis, artifact identification and analysis, best practices in curation, archaeological theory, writing, public outreach, cost proposals, team management, and offer firms new means of analyses such as 3D scanning of sites and artifacts and geometric morphometric shape analysis. I strive to incorporate these skills into classes on CRM, Historic Preservation, and Texas Archaeology, as well as Introduction to Archaeology, North American Archaeology, Archaeological Theory, Archaeological Methods, and Field Schools taught in Alaska and New Mexico. I also incorporate my experience in contract archaeology and in an applied archaeology academic program into my courses on Geometric Morphometric Methods, GIS for Anthropology, Geoarchaeology, Lithic Analysis, Lithis Technological Organization, Quantitative Analyses, and Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology and focus on specific skills valued by CRM firms.
  • Dr. Anthony Michael Cross Assistant Professor - Philosophy
    Research: My primary research interests are in aesthetics and ethics; my research focuses on the normative significance of relationships with artworks and cultural objects. I also have research interests at the intersection of aesthetics and the philosophy of technology: recent work has explored the impact of the internet and emerging technologies on our artistic practices—including work on the nature and value of Internet memes; the significance of NFTs; and the use of AI in artistic production.
