What am I doing right now?
Teaching
Research
💬 Collecting data on language attitudes towards regional varieties of English.
📃 Working on what I guess I’d call a “desk R&R” that I got from a journal and three “regular” R&Rs from another.
📃 Awaiting reviewer comments for three(!) more submitted manuscripts. (I had a very productive summer!)
- 📚 Reading Awareness and Control in Sociolinguistic Research, ed. Anna Babel at the recommendation of a reviewer.
