Linguistics

I am an Acquisitions Editor in Reference Editorial with a focus on literature, linguistics, and classics. I manage the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Literature and the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics, as well as the Oxford Classical Dictionary. Additionally, I am the subject editor for several of our Oxford Bibliographies modules, with subjects covering literature, linguistics, classics, and cinema and media studies. I also commission new print handbooks, mainly in literature and linguistics, and have recently worked on publications such as The Oxford Handbook of Soviet Underground Culture. I have a degree in English Literature with a minor in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and I have a Master of Professional Studies in Publishing from George Washington University. I have been with OUP for eight years, working with our Journals publications before moving to Reference Editorial in 2022.

I seek to acquire works of lasting value, scholarly importance, and academic utility in all areas of linguistics and in developmental psychology. While these will typically take the form of monographs, textbooks, handbooks, or reference works, I am also interested in considering proposals that present the science of language and of child development to a more general audience. Particular areas of focus within developmental psychology include first and second language acquisition in all its variability, child cognitive and social development, atypical development and developmental disabilities, early child intervention, and development across the lifespan. In linguistics, I am eager to continue to commission titles in our world leading series that amplify research in phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, historical linguistics, typology, sociolinguistics, and linguistic theory. I am also keen to consider proposals that explore the intersection of linguistics with bordering disciplines, including anthropology, evolution, education, lexicography, and all aspects of cognitive science.
