Today I was awarded tenure at Gallaudet! This summer marks 10 years since finishing my PhD, and this fall I will be on sabbatical, trying to write a lot and to redesign my undergrad syntax class. I’m so grateful to keep doing what I love. Pic is me at the recent #ICCG14 at Princeton #linguistics

10 years ago this month, i defended my dissertation. i scrounged up two pictures from the day. linguistics is an odd, sometimes challenging field, but i’ve been incredibly privileged to learn and travel with great advisors, colleagues, and friends along the way 😌😌
