Professor of Linguistics (PhD, University of Pennsylvania, 1985).
Main researach areas: Pragmatics, discourse, cognitive science.
Of particular L/G/B/T interest is a course I teach regularly entitled "Language and Sexual Diversity" (Linguistics C30); the course examines the ways in which speakers use language to construct, negotiate, present, and/or conceal their sexual identity and orientation.

I am a bisexual woman and a member of the Women's Studies department (as well as the department of anthropology), and teach a few courses on gender and sexuality. I LOVE having gay, lesbian, bi, queer, trans, and every other kind of student in my class, it's always much more fun and everyone learns more.

Bridget E. Canavan
I teach self-defense against hate crimes to LGBT folks through Chimera Self-Defense and the Thousands Waves Martial Arts and Self-Defense Center. I also teach sexual assault prevention to women through Chimera Self-Defense. I want to learn all I can about LGBT domestic violence and eventually teach seminars in LGBT domestic violence prevention. I have been training in karate for 10 years and I hold the rank of black belt. I practice Shambala Buddhism -- and I do mean 'practice;' I fall off my own path a lot. Oh yeah, I work in the Information Technology division of the University Library in Evanston. B.A. from Siena College (Loudonville, N.Y.) A.M. from University of Chicago - you know where that is.
