This was a fun project, and I'm excited to see it in (digital) print!
New paper with @drlisamojo.bsky.social and Earl Kjar Brown in #Linguistics Vanguard!

Looking back at #NWAV52 --the great papers, the lively conversations, and that moment, 2 slides in, when I realized I'd uploaded the wrong version of my presentation. Thanks for hanging in there with me, folks! Looking forward to the next one!

A Roman walks into a bar and order a Martinus.
"You mean a Martini?", asks the barman
The Roman replies, "Look,if I want a double I’ll ask for one.

Just saw an email from a student asking if I meant to post the answers to the midterm exam. WHAT?? After a panicky check of files and a second read of the message, I realized that she saw "answer SHEET" and thought it was a key. She was being honest, but it will take an hour to get my ❤️ rate down

What are your favorite studies related to teen language and identity? I'm finalizing a reading list for a capstone class, and I'm sure there is some great work that I'm missing. I'm also interested in project ideas if you've tried something you really like. (Feel free to share--my network is small)

Preview of the latest film in the Talking Black series at #nwav51. It will be a great resource for teaching about social justice. I wish it could use it in my classes now!

Excellent talk and recommendations! I also can't wait to read the whole paper--and share it with everyone I know 😀 #nwav51
Amazing talk by Wassink (et al) about operationalizing race and ethnicity in our work. Can’t wait to read the whole paper. Here’s a summary of some of their recommendations for various different types of research:
