Susan Plann is UCLA Research Professor of Chicano Studies and Spanish and Portuguese, having retired in 2017. She is the author of three books and numerous articles. Her study of the Spanish Deaf community as a linguistic and cultural minority called for comparison of Spanish Sign Language with Spains co-official languages (Basque, Catalan, Galician, ), and this sparked an interest in the status of the Arabic language in Spain. The result was an important article on this topic, which involved qualitative interviewing which in turn led to the research presented in Coming of Age in Madrid.
