Teaching

Since coming to Boulder in 2001, I have taught an array of undergraduate and graduate courses that have as their focus the relationship between language and society. I welcome students to my classes who are engaged, hard working, and willing to learn, regardless of level, discipline, background, or experience. My goal as a teacher is to assist students with the projects that they are passionate about, introducing them to theoretical perspectives, empirical studies, and methodological strategies that will illuminate the topics they have chosen to study. I view teaching first and foremost as a collaborative enterprise. I am always learning from my students and adapting my courses to keep current with the latest developments in research.

I am very pleased, and humbled, to have been awarded the University of Colorado鈥檚 in 2013, the in 2009, and the Graduate School Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award in 2004. I am currently serving as one of 14 ASSETT Faculty Teaching Fellows selected from across the university. Fellows act as mentors and liaisons for two years in their home departments to improve the undergraduate learning experience and to address needs related to teaching, learning, and technology.
