I am currently an ARC QE2 Fellow in the Department of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics at the University of Melbourne (Australia) where I am CI in the project 'Doing great things with small languages' (with Rachel Nordlinger). I am also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. I am the project manager of PARADISEC and the EthnoER project. I am the technology editor for the journal Language Documentation and Conservation. In 2009 I was the chair of the 1st International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation. I am working with speakers of South Efate to produce a collection of narratives, and with Warnman speakers (Western Australia) on documentation of their language.

This is a photo of me at a school on Tanna, southern Vanuatu, with the equivalent of a dunce's cap. The sign says "I must not speak language" and refers to not speaking the local indigenous language at school.
