I have a joint position across the and the at the University of Colorado Boulder. I currently act as Associate Chair of Undergraduate Studies for the Department of Linguistics. I also advise many MA and PhD students in the areas of linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, and socially oriented discourse analysis.

My graduate students receive a broad education in the interdisciplinary field of sociocultural linguistics through courses offered both in the Department of Linguistics and in the interdisciplinary graduate certificate program , which supports teaching and research in the area of “Culture, Language, and Social Practice.”

My PhD students work on diverse topics that include modernity and race in the discourse of Umbanda practitioners in São Paulo, Brazil (), causation and indexicality in mental illness narratives associated with autism (), intonation and identity among first generation Appalachian college students (), white nationalism in discourses of the alt-right (), the social politics of Singlish in Singapore (), feminist identity positioning among US college students (), and the negotiation of power between ethnic majorities and minorities in Myanmar ().

Although today’s job market is very competitive, I am pleased to report that my former PhD students have taken jobs that include tenure track positions in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California Santa Barbara (), the Department of Anthropology at the University of Illinois (), and the Institute of Liberal Arts & Sciences at Nagoya University, Japan (). My other students hold positions at the University of Wyoming and the ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ Center for Media, Religion, and Culture (), the Department of English at Carnegie Mellon University Qatar (), the Community College of Denver (), and Windhorse Community Services Home-Based Recovery of Mental Health, Inc. ().

MA and PhD students interested in sociocultural linguistics at the University of Colorado Boulder will find additional resources, support, and friendly students in the interdisciplinary Culture, Language, and Social Practice (CLASP) program. The program features 35 affiliated faculty members from 12 university departments. More information on the CLASP program can be found at the .
