Introduction

[abaron at u.washington.edu]

I always like meeting people.

Also in the final throes, I will be there but only for a night or two (Friday and Saturday).

I live next to Tufts but I will get my PhD from the University of Washington in anthropology. I work on 
language and gender and sociolinguistic style, I am writing about Spanish-Tzotzil mixing in a 
Protestant village in Chiapas and its role in defining certain genres like publically persuasive discourse 
and playful speech.

How big is this list anyway?
