I was born in Ireland, but at four years old went to live in Luxembourg. My mother worked with the European Commission and thanks to the European School system, I became a ‘true’ European. I got my first degree (Sociology) in the University of Glasgow. After that I spent five years in Belgium doing various jobs in telemarketing, customer service and sales: I didn’t like them very much. After that I saw the light and managed to do a Masters in Social Anthropology of Development with SOAS in London. That was where I met my wife-to-be - referred to in these pages as WW (Wonderful Wife, Wonder Womyn, or Whipping Witch – depending on circumstances). After six months in Nigeria she suggested I come to Malaysia. I was able to find a lecturing job with HELP University College, and we eventually got married I am now a PhD candidate at Monash University Malaysia, researching the commercialisation of Malaysian blogs.
I am an assistant professor in the Linguistics department at the University of California, Berkeley. My research focuses on Amazonian languages, and I am particularly interested in the strategic use of grammatical resources in interaction, language documentation and revitalization, and language politics. I have principally worked with speakers of Nanti (Arawak) and Iquito (Zaparoan), in Peruvian Amazonia.
