About
I am Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Delaware. CAS is a vibrant research and teaching environment, with so many dedicated faculty and staff. I am always happy to hear from our incredible students and alumni, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me or those on our team if you have ideas related to the College.
I'm a Professor of Anthropology, with a secondary appointment in Linguistics and Cognitive Science. My research explores cognitive, cultural and linguistic diversity. It relies on varied methods, from field work in Amazonia, to computational analyses of data from many distinct populations, to experimental tests of the aerosol particles people produce while speaking. This work, much of it involving collaborations with other scholars and awesome students, has appeared in three books and varied journals. For more info check out my publications page.
I previously served as a Senior Associate Dean in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Miami and as Professor of Anthropology and Psychology at UM. I'm a member of the inaugural class of Andrew Carnegie Fellows.
Teaching
I have been fortunate to teach many fantastic undergraduate and graduate students over the years, and have taught on Semester at Sea.
