I'm a sociolinguist who loves learning about the way we speak and what it says about who we are.

I ask questions like:

• How is language linked to social meaning?
• How do we convey our own identities and make sense of other people’s identities?
• How do people talk about the language that they use?
• How do language ideologies influence the way we recognize, interpret, and evaluate speech?
