Long Bio
I'm a doctoral student in the Linguistics & Applied Linguistics Program whose research focuses on the relationship between language, culture, and gender. I draw together resources from anthropology, philosophy, and cultural studies to consider how and why we talk about trans people in the ways we do. I also have active research interests in both generative syntax and formal semantics, especially concerning variation in the expression of English modality. I'm from Knoxville, Tennessee, and received my B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies in Linguistics from the University of Tennessee in 2016.
Research Interests
language, gender & sexuality; history and philosophy of linguistics; intersection of semantics and pragmatics in linguistics and the philosophy of language and mind
