I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Linguistics at UC Santa Barbara, and my subfield is Sociocultural Linguistics, an interdisciplinary field that combines linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics. I specialize in the study of language, identity, and social justice as well as digital anthropology, and my research investigates the intersections of sexuality and religion in American contexts using ethnographic and discourse-analytic methods. I have earned four interdisciplinary emphases, including one in Feminist Studies, and I am on track to defend and file my dissertation in June 2017.  \nMy dissertation is an investigation of discourse spaces at a 2012 Baptist conference on sexuality and covenant held in the southeastern United States. I provide a comprehensive ethnographic account of this event and complicate traditional understandings of interaction by examining the digital and non-digital discourse spaces that emerged from the conference. Following preliminary chapters on theory and methodology, the third dissertation chapter analyzes media coverage of the conference in order to show how organizers both enabled and constrained certain types of discourse through their framing of the conference as a conversation. In Chapter 4, I trace the threads of intertextuality as plenary speakers present their own and others’ voices in the construction of a covenant model of sexuality. In Chapter 5, I examine the alternative discourse spaces created through attendees’ live-tweeting of the conference. This project theorizes the complexity of discourse spaces and expands anthropological scholarship by showing how religious individuals construct ideologies in non-ritualized interaction.  \nI have published a total of six peer-reviewed articles – including articles in journals with strong anthropological orientations such as Gender and Language, Pragmatics, and Language Policy – and I have presented 16 conference papers. In 2015, I co-organized two conference panels for the American Anthropological Association’s annual meeting that explored the ways in which agency is both enabled and constrained through discourse practices. My research has been funded through three research grants from UCSB that recognized the breadth and impact of my work, and I was selected as an alternate for the American Association of University Women’s American Dissertation Fellowship.  \nI am an active researcher in the field of linguistic anthropology, as evidenced by my ongoing scholarly activities. The journal Communication and Language has accepted my proposal for a co-edited special issue on“Agency in Context,” for which I will co-author the introductory theoretical chapter as well as contribute an article on the topic of constrained agency among Baptist women discussing their feelings toward erotic media. Additionally, I am preparing a manuscript based on Chapter 5 of my dissertation, which I plan to submit to American Ethnologist. The next steps for my research involve two projects that build on parts of my dissertation. First, I will expand my digital anthropological research to examine the role of new media in social justice movements within progressive faith communities, such as LGBTQ inclusion in churches and comprehensive faith-based sex education.
