Research Interests I am a sociolinguist, working primarily from variationist approaches. Most of my work has focused on describing dialects of English, and identifying changes in dialects resulting from a range of social and linguistic factors. More generally, I am interested in how people do things with language and how language does things to people. I welcome inquiries from qualified students who wish to pursue PhD projects in sociophonetics, dialectology, perceptual dialectology, and other areas of language variation and change.
Biography I joined Warwick in 2017. I taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the United States from 2006 to 2017, working in subjects like linguistics, writing, rhetoric, and communication.
