I’m happy to report that I successfully defended my dissertation today! The defense was held in the DigiLab (300 Main Library). The study itself is called “Vowel Dynamics of the Elsewhere Shift: A sociophonetic analysis of English in Cowlitz County, Washington.”
Me with my committee: Chad Howe, Peggy Renwick, and Bill Kretzschmar (Skyping in).
