Kaycie Barron is a first-year doctoral student in the Learning Sciences program within the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her work centers on advancing equitable outcomes for bi/multilingual learners and developing human-centered applications of artificial intelligence in K–12 education. Drawing on translanguaging and systemic functional linguistics frameworks, her research examines linguistic bias in large language models and explores ways to make AI tools more inclusive and linguistically responsive. She also partners with educators across Wisconsin to pilot classroom AI tools that reflect authentic teaching values and practices.
