I’m so excited to be a 2025-2026 recipient of a Doctoral Dissertation Grant from The International Research Foundation (TIRF) for English Language Education! My project contributes to Plurilingualism and Multilingualism research across fields. Read more: www.tirfonline.org/announcing-t...

The Speech, Sign, and Systems Lab (formerly VoiceLab) is seeking motivated PhD students to join us in Fall 2026! We are part of the University of Iowa’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, consistently ranked among the top 5 programs in speech sciences nationwide.

New preprint 🌟 Psychology is core to cognitive science, and so it is vital we preserve it from harmful frames. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I use our psych and computer science expertise to analyse and craft:

Critical Artificial Intelligence Literacy for Psychologists. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

It's great to wake up to a conference review that says "this is the most highly rated abstract in the strand" 🤩

See you in Chicago at AAAL this March, where I'll be giving talks on 1) layperson comprehensibility of jury instructions, and
2) how language attrition is defined and operationalized!

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Looking forward to seeing friends (and making new ones) at #SLRF2025 later this month!

I'll be presenting preliminary data from (part of) my dissertation, a preregistered scoping review of language attrition research to determine how L2 attrition/loss/decline is defined & operationalized.

LSA Presidential Research Forum

Join us as scholars rethink terms like “native speaker” and “bilingual”— and work toward empirically driven, contextually grounded characterizations of language use.

Next stop: #ISB2025 (that's the International Symposium on Bilingualism, not the Star Wars one)! My poster with Scott Jarvis (on the 13th) shows variety in self-description and language experience from 50 (mostly "bilingual") participants. Take a peek at drive.google.com/file/d/1unHu....

One more week until the FREE, ONLINE 2nd annual Reframing Our Language Experience (ROLE) Symposium! Join us for a day of learning and discussion, with a combination of lightning talks, panels, and workshops. Today's the last day to register! umich.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Please consider submitting to the Second Language Research Forum if you haven’t already. We can’t wait to discuss the latest in L2 research with a great group of language scientists this September!

Interested in combating essentialist ideals of language experience? Join the ROLE Collective on May 19 for our 2nd annual FREE, ONLINE conference to discuss linguistic justice. www.rolecollective.org/events/2nd-r...

If you plan on submitting something, lightning talk proposals are due April 14th!

Have you submitted an abstract for SLRF yet? We're down to the last 20 days— be sure to send in your proposal by March 31 and join us in Flagstaff this September!

SO excited to be a finalist for Five Minute Linguist at #LSA2025. Come hear about "Who counts as bilingual?" in Philly on Jan 10, right after #WOTY2024. web.cvent.com/event/40d941...

I'll be giving upcoming presentations on "Who counts as bilingual?" at #LSA2025 (poster and a #5ML talk), plus #AAAL2025 talks "A Constant Decay Hypothesis account of lexical attrition" and "Lexical diversity across human and AI writing." Hope to see you there!
