  • (note: My AOL account at daorcboy@aol.com is no longer active)

  • (note2: I rarely check my NYU account, and I'm no longer in academia. Your best bet for reaching me is to e-mail my NYU account, put the word "CONTACT" in the subject header so I'll see it, and be patient)


    My Awesome Former Advisors: Gregory Guy, Mary Bucholtz

    Personal interests: Miniature gaming, FRPGs, Movies, Fantasy/SciFi, Music, Football, History, Classical Culture, Musical Theater, Web-surfing

    Research interests: Sociolinguistics: Discourse, Conversation Analysis, Narrative, Style & Register, Identity, Gender; Cognitive Linguistics: Pragmatic Interfaces, Mental Space Theory; plus anything and everything that strikes my whimsical fancy

    Projects: Read my CV (below for link) for the older stuff. No, seriously.

  • Structure, Character and Identity in Narrative Context (conference paper, panel presentation)
  • The Dissertation (now with crunchy title)

    Dissertation and Proposal: Due to popular demand, here's a link to both my dissertation and proposal (separate page). Comforting to know that I'm not alone in my super geek-dom (I not only play D&D, I went to school to study it).
