Carol Genetti is a professor of linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara.[1] In 2008, she founded InField,[2] an international training workshop in field linguistics[3] and language documentation (Grenoble and Furbee: 262).[4][5][6] She served as Director of the first InField when it was hosted by the University of California, Santa Barbara.[7] In 2012, when it was hosted at the University of Kansas, the workshop's name was changed to CoLang, the Institute on Collaborative Language Research.[8] InField/CoLang has provided significant training support worldwide.[9][10][11] Genetti has made a significant impact in creating this innovative training model.[12]

Genetti is known for her research into Tibeto-Burman languages and languages of the Himalayans. Her work into Newar language is the first comprehensive grammar, focusing on the Dolakhae dialect. Her investigation into languages of the Indosphere has increased understanding of many typological features, including auxiliaries.
