Teaching
Autumn 2011
In my first quarter as an ACLS Faculty Fellow at The Ohio State University, I am teaching LINGUIST 597.01: Language Endangerment and Language Death, an undergraduate course.
Spring 2011
In my second semester as a James R. Gray Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, I taught Linguistics 181: Lexical Semantics (an upper-division course with both undergraduate and graduate students); Linguistics 5: Language and Linguistics (an introduction to linguistics for non-majors); and Linguistics 55AC: The American Languages (a broad course that satisfies the university's American Cultures requirement for undergraduates).
Fall 2010
In my first semester as a James R. Gray Lecturer, I taught Linguistics R6: Endangered Languages (see below).
Fall 2009
I developed and taught a course called Linguistics R6, Endangered Languages: What We Lose when a Language Dies. The course, which satisfies the second half of Berkeley's reading and composition requirement for undergraduates, addresses the causes and symptoms of language endangerment, the language-culture and language-identity connections, linguistic relativity and determinism, and language revitalization.
Fall 2007
I was a Graduate Student Instructor for Linguistics 100: Introduction to Linguistic Science, taught by Joey Sabbagh.
Spring 2007
I was a Graduate Student Instructor for Linguistics 55AC: The American Languages, taught by Robin Lakoff.
