Ann Arbor, MI (University of Michigan): November 2025
I presented a paper at the 53rd New Ways of Analyzing Variation (NWAV53) conference. It was so wonderful to connect with so many amazing sociolinguists whose work inspired new ideas for my own! Drawing on data from focus groups and matched-guise surveys, my presentation examined how listeners perceive the use of African American English in pop music.
