Potential postdoc

9/15/2021

0 Comments

 
I've recently started working with Lisa Sullivan, a PhD student at the University of Toronto, on a proposal to fund her as a postdoc next year. She is applying for a Canadian postdoctoral fellowship that would allow her to come work in my lab for two years on a project about prevelar raising (pronouncing words like bag and leg more like vague). The project would extend her dissertation work -- and my own "bag-beg-bagel" prevelar merger studies -- to map the phenomenon across North America, collect massive numbers of audio recordings online, and provide public education about dialect differences and linguistic discrimination, all in one interactive website or app. Lisa has a background in web development and experience incorporating writing practice into curriculum development, as well as her degrees in linguistics. We'll be lucky to have her!

DXDX honors class

This semester, I'm teaching an honors add-on, a one-credit attachment to several ASL classes, for students to join my Deaf Experience, Deaf Expression (DXDX) Project. Six of the students from spring/summer are also continuing, and I've added a new grad student, so the DXDX team is now 16 strong!  They each spend a couple hours a week on different tasks, depending on their interests, so there are mini-teams for conducting interviews, scheduling, transcribing, annotating, video editing, thematic analysis, social media, and presenting results. It's a lot to manage, but we're off to a great start!
