Since my last instance imploded, it's intro time! I teach and do research in #linguistics, especially across #EMCA, #linganth, and #sociolinguistics. My most recent work is on gender and non-binary pronouns and I'm broadly interested in research on gender and sexuality, gesture and the body, and digital media and technology.

I'm also an avid #Yiddish (#ייִדיש) learner and I do a lot of vegan baking in the off-season 🥮​

As imperfect as they are (and despite the 90s html layout), Rick Aschmann's American English #dialects maps & pages are still the best tool I know of to really help students new to #linguistics and #linganth come to grips with the kinds of variation in (North American, though mostly white) Englishes. A graduating student remarked to me last week that she still shows it to her friends and relatives - I think she took my class three years ago. @linguistics
