The Linguistic Society of America is in Philadelphia this weekend, and SEPTA (the linguistic one) is well represented. I’m giving a talk on L2 English users responses to gender inclusive and nonbinary forms, and beginning my term as the chair of LSA’s Committee on LGBTQ+ Issues in Linguistics (COZIL).

New research talk now online
I recently gave a talk for a meeting of the Moral Psychology Research Group, organized by Daryl Cameron, who runs the Penn State Consortium on Moral Decision-Making. It was nice to join my Penn State colleagues as well as meet faculty and students working on a wide array of topics. I shared a summary of recent work on the ethical dimensions of pronouns, which you can watch here:
Routledge Handbook of Pronouns out now
The Routledge Handbook of Pronouns is now out. It’s a comprehensive look at the linguistic, psychological, and social dimensions of pronouns. I contributed a chapter on nonbinary singular they with Lex Konnelly and Kirby Conrod.

I’ll be presenting preliminary results from my sabbatical project on pronouns and other (non)gendered morphology in Maltese and Maltese English at the British Association for Applied Linguistics Special Interest Group on Language, Gender, and Sexuality in Brighton, England on May 2.
