Linguizzle

I’m a professor of sociolinguistics. But I haven’t always been a professor. I’ve hitchhiked all over the country; I’ve been homeless; I’ve run with gangs; I’ve been broke down a few times; and I’ve even spent a few nights in jail. This podcast is a way for me to engage in conversations with the people who impact me most. They include family members, friends, homies, and scholars. The conversations will cover every topic from the streets to the Ivory tower, gang signs to sign language, the n-word to the most cutting edge linguistic research. This is Linguizzle.
