Personal profile
Research Statement
Teaching
My teaching focuses on phonetics and phonology, with emphasis on aspects of disordered speech and on varieties of English in Ireland. I offer specialist modules at undergraduate level which introduce students to speech production and variation and, from there, to more sophisticated methods for analysing data and profiling speech systems. I also co-deliver the first year programme in Language, with sessions on language and education, child language acquisition, language disorder, conversation analysis, and the communicative dimensions of language across a range of contexts. My postgraduate teaching and doctoral supervision equips students with key research and applied skills in phonetics and phonology, and I deliver Masters modules which deal with current trends in phonological analysis.
