Research
I'm an anthropologist and linguist at the University of Miami. My research explores topics related to the diversity of language and cognition across the world's cultures. It relies on varied methods, from field research in Amazonia to quantitative analyses of data from thousands of populations. My work has appeared in diverse journals including PNAS, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, Language and Cognitive Neuropsychology. For more info check out my publications.
Presently I'm Professor & Chair of the Anthropology Department at UM, with a secondary appointment in Psychology. I'm a member of the inaugural class of Andrew Carnegie Fellows.
Teaching
I teach a variety of courses at UM. My students are great, and some are helping in current research projects. I have previously taught on Semester at Sea.
