Â鶹ÊÓƵ

I am a PhD student in the Linguistics department, with a BA in Linguistics and Cognitive Science from Rice University. My interests are in interactional linguistics and discourse analysis. I’m primarily interested in the relationships between discourse and morality (both moral stance-taking as well as how morality is imbued into interactional norms) and the negotiation of intersubjectivity within interaction. I’ve previously worked on moral stance-taking and presentation of self in hurricane narratives (from the Harvey Oral Narratives On Record project), and I’m currently looking at the negotiation of contested terms in American school board meetings.
