Fieldwork

My research focuses on fieldwork in the Interior of British Columbia, where I work with speakers of Indigenous languages that are still largely under-documented, especially when it comes to syntax and semantics. Since there’s only a limited amount of time left to work closely with fluent first-language speakers, this work feels both important and urgent. It’s not just about documentation; it also plays a role in supporting language revitalization and helping develop strong teaching programs for future generations of speakers. I’m part of a larger team of researchers and community members working together on these shared goals.

• nłab:

  Until January 2025, I co-managed the nłab with Danica Reid. The lab is actively conducting fieldwork with fluent speakers of nłeʔkepmxcín, working on documentation, analysis, and pedagogy.

• Secwepemctsín Research Group:

  Until January 2025, I managed the Secwepemctsín Research Group. This group works with fluent speakers of Secwepemctsín, on a variety of projects mainly centred around documentation and analysis.
