Janet S Gaffney is an American-New Zealand special education academic. She is currently a full professor at the University of Auckland. [1]
After an undergraduate at Saint Louis University and the University of Missouri, Gaffney did a 1984 PhD at Arizona State University with a thesis titled LD children's prose recall as a function of prior knowledge, instruction, and context relatedness. [2]
After working in the US at the University of Mississippi and the University of Illinois, she moved to the University of Auckland in 2012 as full professor, drawn in part by the legacy of Marie Clay, [3] whose celebratory book, Stirring the Waters: The Influence of Marie Clay, Gaffney had co-edited.
