Since Fall 2006, I have been in the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Mississippi, and have been an Assistant Professor since Fall 2007.  I teach courses on German language, culture, and linguistics at all levels, and well as teaching general linguistics.  

In 2006, I completed my Ph.D. in Germanic Linguistics and Philology at Indiana University. My dissertation is entitled Verb Order in Subordinate Clauses from Early New High German to Modern German.

I spent 2004-2005 conducting research at the University of Tübingen on a DAAD grant and 2005-2006 at the University of Vienna as a Fulbright Fellow.

My field of research is historical linguistics, especially the historical syntax and morphology of German.  I am also interested in modern German linguistics, the older Germanic languages and literatures, language pedagogy, contemporary Germany and Austria, and Scandinavian studies.
