About
I’m Trevor. I’m returning for a PhD, working under Dr. Chung-hye Han in the XSyn Lab. I will be continuing my experimental work on the processing of pronouns with an emphasis on understanding how acceptability ratings, online processing, and production data interact. I have taught as a sessional instructor in the Linguistics department since 2018 and am excited to continue doing so throughout my graduate studies. Outside of academia, I like to read non-fiction, create educational videos, and walk as much as I can.
