Colleen Fitzgerald is the Program Director for the Documenting Endangered Languages program at the National Science Foundation.[1] She is a rotator from the University of Texas at Arlington, where she is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics and TESOL[2][3] and also directs the Native American Languages Lab.[4] She formerly served as chair of the department. Fitzgerald is a linguist who specializes in phonology, as well as language documentation[5] and revitalization,[6] especially with Native American languages.[7] She earned her doctorate in linguistics at the University of Arizona, where her doctoral adviser was Michael Hammond.[8] Her dissertation focused on prosody in Tohono O'odham, a Uto-Aztecan language. She has published on Tohono O'odham, as well as other languages. Her other publications are on the topic of service learning in linguistics, including in indigenous language revitalization courses.

Fitzgerald served as Director of the 2014 Institute on Collaborative Research,[9] or CoLang 2014.[10][11] This was the fourth iteration of this international training workshop in language documentation and revitalization,[12] founded by Carol Genetti in 2008 at the University of California, Santa Barbara under the name InField.[13] With linguist Mary Linn, she co-directed the 2012 and 2014 Oklahoma Breath of Life Workshops.[14] More recently, Fitzgerald has done research on Chickasaw, a Muskogean language, with Joshua Hinson, Director of the Chickasaw Language Revitalization Program.[15]
