I have to be quite selective in taking on new graduate students for supervision, particularly at the Ph.D level. In general, I am now only considering new Ph.D students whose research interests involve questions on the morphosyntax of some of the indigenous languages of the Americas, particularly in the Algonquian or Dene language families.
