Job title:
Data Science for Social Justice Fellow 2024
Department:
Linguistics
Linguistics (sociophonetics, phonology)
Bio/CV:
I am a fourth-year PhD student in Linguistics, with a focus in sociophonetics and phonology. In my research, I'm interested in how understudied speech communities (Andalusians, southern Spain; Lobi and Tonko Limba, West Africa) and often-relegated aspects of social identity (sexuality, gender normativity) can inform new approaches to theory and methodology and how we conceptualize the interfaces between linguistic subfields.
I'm also involved in language documentation/revitalization work for Lobi and the development of automated phonetic methods, particularly for capturing fricative acoustics and improving annotation efficiency for marginalized languages. I received my MA in Linguistics from UC Berkeley in 2023.
