I have been the administrator (since 1996) of the Rutgers Optimality Archive (ROA), an electronic distribution point for research in OT. I am also the moderator of the Optimal List, a broadcast venue for activity on ROA and for announcements of interest to people working in OT. Much of my work can also be found on ROA. Queries about either the ROA or the Optimal List should be addressed to me at .
I am interested in promoting discussions of phonology very generally. To this end, in 2004 I started phonoloblog, an unmoderated weblog for phonologists (and any other interested folks). Anyone can join; interested folks should contact me at .
I have been a regular contributor to Language Log since 2004. Language Log is a popular language and linguistics weblog begun by Mark Liberman and Geoff Pullum in 2003.
