I've been in the Linguistics Department at NEIU since 1999, where my research specialties are Language and Identity and Speech Communities. I typically teach LING 109 (Language and Diversity in Chicago), LING 110 (Lexicology), LING 120 (Language and Human Behavior) and LING 301 (History of the English Language). I also occasionally teach LING 201 (Introduction to Linguistics), LING 322 (Introduction to Sociolinguistics), LING 401 (Fundamentals of Linguistics) and LING 446 (Sociolinguistics).
