Welcome!

I am interested in language as a social phenomenon. While my work may be focused on the small-scale adaptations people make in conversation, the underlying questions that interest me are: How do people use their voices and variations in pronunciation to relate to one another and to signal who they are? What does a person’s way of speaking mean for how they are perceived by others?

With the precarious life of a young academic comes the need for keeping track of everything in one place that is not a university IT system. This is my personal hub for collecting my work, sharing resources (such as the map task I developed for my PhD research) and writing about things that interest me. This page contains an overview of my most recent work and whereabouts.
