So… I’ve been quietly working on something I’m really excited about. I’m building a YouTube channel where I’ll explore linguistics through pop culture, reality TV, movies, memes, and the everyday conversations we all have. One of the things I’ve realized throughout teaching, graduate school, and now my PhD is that the best way to truly understand something is to explain it to someone else. Every video is a chance for me to deepen my own understanding while hopefully making linguistics a little more accessible, a little more fun, and a lot more connected to real life. If you’re the kind of person who loves noticing hidden patterns in language—or you just want to know why people say the things they do—I hope you’ll stick around for the first episode. I can’t wait to share it with you!
