ABOUT Me
I am a professor of linguistics at Stephen F. Austin State University, a regional university in Nacogdoches, Texas–in deep East Texas , surrounded by beautiful pine forests and azalea gardens and lush greenery.
At SFA, I teach a variety of linguistics courses, and this website is dedicated to some of my main research and teaching interests, as well as a few personal interests and hobbies, like baking, music, and photography.
I prefer to take a data-oriented, applied approach to studying (and teaching) linguistics, looking for connections between language use and other areas, such as genre, cognitive science, and identity.
