ALUM REPORT: MARK NORRIS

Mark Norris finished the PhD last spring with a dissertation on nominal syntax and nominal concord. He now holds a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the University of Oklahoma. Still with the intent of checking in with last year’s graduate alums, we wrote to Mark to see how things were and he sent in this resport:

I am very comfortable at OU so far. My colleagues Marcia Haag and UCSC alumnus Dylan Herrick have been very helpful to me and also solicitous of my opinions, which has made me feel very welcome and very integrated. Between teaching phonetics and semantics, doing research, and advising a drove of linguistics undergraduates, I am keeping busy. The fall semester is wrapping up very soon, and then I’ll be gearing up for Typology and General Linguistics (our intro course) in the spring.
