Biography

Hello!

My name is Morgan Robertson. I'm currently a Ph.D. student in the Linguistics Department at the University of Kansas. My research interests are phonetics, phonology, and second language acquisition. As of late, I have been working on Opacity within formal Optimality Theory as well as Clear Speech productions of nasal coarticulation, rounded/unrounded vowels, and stop voicing in native French. 

I work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for ANTH/LING 106 Introduction to Linguistics. Teaching is my passion, I live for the aha moment! 

When I'm not researching or teaching, you'll probably find me at home with my husband and two kids. I enjoy cooking, baking, and reading.
