I will be giving a hybrid talk at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Linguistics Department about my recent book, Workable Accents.

What does academic labour sound like?

Using the case of international teaching assistants, my talk attempts to answer this question!

If you are interested in how accent acts as a type of work in higher education, then you should read Workable Accents.

Check out my latest article, which explores how vocal accent, a seemingly auditory construct, reinforces the problematic idea that race is simply something we see.

It is open access, so there is no excuse not to read it:

Workable Accents critically explores how international teaching assistants in Canadian universities vocally fashion and contest various aspects of their academic labour.
