By social identities, I mean our relationships with other people, whether those are the people we are speaking to in a particular interaction, or our relationships to all the other people in our society, and every relationship in between, including relationships with ourselves. I&#039;ve been particularly interested in gender identity and language, specifically men&#039;s identities and language, which was the subject of my dissertation. In this vein, I have also been investigating how dominant or hegemonic (young white cis-male middle class heterosexual) identities are linguistically performed, and how these performances (re)create structure and power in society. When I was in Sydney in 1996-1999, I also became interested in the role of ethnic identity and migration in the actuation and spread of linguistic change in Australian English. Currently, I am beginning a project to describe and explain variation and change in what is locally called &#039;Pittsburghese&#039; with Barbara Johnstone. There are lots of papers available at academia.edu.</div>
