Teaching

Current teaching

My teaching at Newcastle includes introductory morphology and advanced syntax.

Previous teaching experience

I have previously coordinated courses and written and delivered undergraduate lectures on introductory and advanced syntax, language typology, the philosophy of language, Spanish language and field methods.

I have also written and delivered lectures on comparative Romance linguistics and taught seminars on introductory syntax, Portuguese linguistics, the history of English, sociolinguistics and writing skills.  

I have also written and delivered MPhil seminars on yes/no questions, null arguments, word order, A-bar movement and parameter hierarchies.

Postgraduate supervision (alphabetical)

I have (co-)supervised a number of undergraduate, masters and PhD theses on syntactic topics, focused on a wide range of language (Spanish, Portuguese, Heritage French, Northern Italian Dialects, Mandarin, Hungarian, Greek, Heritage Polish…).

Please get in touch if you are interested in working with me!
