At UW–Madison, I have taught the following courses:
- Language Endangerment, Documentation, and Revitalization (Linguis 977): a graduate seminar focused on fundamental topics related to the worldwide crisis of language endangerment and responses to it through efforts in language documentation and revitalization.
- Research Methods & Materials (Linguis 800): a graduate seminar dedicated to topics/issues that are essential to professional academic success but generally not addressed in traditional courses, such as academic writing and publishing, the conference experience, and positioning students for the job market.
- Language Endangerment: Responses to a Worldwide Crisis (Linguis 690): an advanced undergraduate approach to language endangerment, documentation, and revitalization. This course has also satisfied the capstone requirement for the Linguistics major, where students design and carry out an independent research project.
- Structure of a Language (Linguis 571): an undergraduate course with a special focus on verbal morphology and (morpho)syntax in Northern East Cree. This course has also satisfied the capstone requirement for the Linguistics major, where students design and carry out an independent research project.
- Advanced Morphology (Linguis 522): a split-level course that undertakes an advanced survey of selected topics and theories in morphology.
- Morphology (Linguis 322): a split-level course that examines major morphological phenomena and approaches to morphological issues, using examples from a diverse range of languages.
- Human Language (Linguis 101) + Introduction to Linguistics (Anthro/Linguis 301): a course that introduces the core sub-fields of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax.
I taught three courses at the University of Hawaiʻi:
- Morphology (LING 420): a split-level course that investigates foundational morphological phenomena and issues.
- General Linguistics (LING 320): an advanced overview of the tools and methodologies of linguistics, which familiarizes students with the technical analysis of language through a survey of major research subfields and approaches throughout the field
- Introduction to the Study of Language (LING 102): an introductory course that encourages students to appreciate linguistic and cultural diversity while challenging them to connect academic knowledge to the world around them, think critically, and expand their worldviews
My teaching experience also includes Technologies for Endangered Language Documentation (INT-D 318) at the Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute (CILLDI) at the University of Alberta. This course introduces audio and video recording technology to speakers and learners of Canada’s Indigenous languages. Here I focus on acquainting students with software and hardware tools, helping them to overcome challenges related to technology, and empowering them to create, edit, and transcribe their own recordings of their language to produce community-oriented language resources.
