Panelists:

  • Brian graduated from the University of Minnesota, Duluth in 1996 with a BA in Anthropology and Geography.  After a summer working at a hotel laundry outside Denali National Park in  Alaska and a few years unpacking boxes in the backroom of a bookstore, he entered the graduate program in Linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin in the fall of 1999, completing his PhD in the summer of 2007.  He started teaching at the Institute of Linguistics that fall and has served as Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Linguistics Program since 2013. 
  • Chris graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2014 with degrees in Linguistics and Psychology. He then spent a year in a post-baccalaureate research position at the University of Maryland, before beginning graduate school at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in Fall 2015. He completed his PhD in September 2020, and is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Institute of Linguistics. In Fall 2021, he will join the Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia as an Assistant Professor.
  • As Caleb approached the completion of his PhD in 2015, he began applying for jobs that were anything remotely "language-like," from traditional academia to content editing to museum curation to corporate communications—well over a hundred applications in total. While tiding himself over with online teaching gigs that attached a modest stipend, he finally received an offer, which he was very happy to take, managing a writing and language tutoring center at the U of M. He suddenly found himself with the leverage and authority to advocate for social justice of language by pushing back against the prescriptivist norms that contaminate education everywhere; this became a calling to anti-racism he didn't know he had. During this time, he also focused on building his professional network and advancing creative projects that may one day bear financial returns. Now, tiding himself over once again, he awaits eagerly whatever fruits or lessons (likely both) the future will bring.

  • Borui is a Ph.D. candidate in the Linguistics Program at the University of Minnesota with a Ph.D. minor in Computer Science. She has a BS in Educational Technology and some background in TESL. She is interested in working in the areas of computational linguistics, natural language processing, and corpus linguistics for low-resource language. She has worked as an intern on projects of machine translation, grammar development, and semantic analysis. 

  • Kyle
