Hi all. I thought I might introduce myself and get the ball rolling with building the community here.
I'm a post-doctoral research associate in English using the UAMCT to study undergraduate student writing--currently in Doha, Qatar. I've been using the UAMCT since... 2014? Before that, I used SysFan. I used the UAMCT to do genre analysis for my dissertation, which focused on K-12 student writing in the Common Core State Standards in the U.S.. Since then, I've been using the UAMCT to examine student writing at different levels and in different genres--perhaps most recently in the U.S. first-year college composition course and now in undergraduate history and design courses. I'm currently trying to build up my statistics and programming knowledge, reading Baayen's book Analyzing Linguistic Data and learning Python.
I've been doing SFL since 2010, where I learned about it in my studies as a Masters student at Purdue University. My co-chair for my Ph.D. was Luciana de Oliveira. I'm also one of the web managers for the North American SFL Association.
I've lived all around the U.S. the past few years, but I'm originally from a small Indiana town outside Cincinnati, Ohio (Go Reds!). My wife and I have two cats--she's taking care of them in our home in Boston, MA while I'm abroad. Outside work, I'm into video games (civilization strategy & sim builders), board games (AmeriTrash, co-ops, some strategy), politics, and Star Trek.
I'm very excited to see what this community might become and how it might support UAMCT users. If you're so inclined, feel free to introduce yourself as well. And welcome!
