Emily Graham is Assistant Professor of Linguistics, and her primary research interests lie in psycholinguistics and phonetics. She has conducted research on sentence-level processing, specifically how we link pronouns to their antecedents as well as the neurophysiological processing of determiner phrases. In phonetics, she has published papers on phonetic imitation of English sibilants in native and non-native speech. Additionally, she is interested in pedagogical methods and has recently co-authored an article discussing methods of de-centering Standard American English in the linguistics classroom. Emily is also an active member of the LInguistic Society of America and serves on several committees devoted to linguistic pedagogy and gender equity in linguistics.

Outside of the university, Emily enjoys baking, attending concerts, playing the saxophone, and spending time with her cats and dog.
