Xochimilco, Mexico: Walking with local artist Juan Guillermo Ley during 2016 fieldwork.
I'm a sociocultural linguist with historically grounded and applied specialities in human interaction, language learning, and intercultural communication. I'm also a digital media producer with interests in popular culture, technology, science fiction, visual arts, museums, and language and education policy.

Using ethnography, I join with people in their homes, and places of work and learning, to understand who they are, how they communicate, and what their concerns are. I enjoy connecting with diverse audiences, and I'm an advocate for hands-on, participatory learning.
#languagestory is a video series and blog I created to discuss people-centered perspectives on communication, intercultural learning, and the impact of anthropological research. My forthcoming book is Zombies Speak Swahili.
