I am Chancellor\u2019s Professor and Professor of Linguistics in the Department of English at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My research has focused on the intersections of language, identity, and relational work. Early on, I examined how speakers negotiate social relationships and identities through im\/politeness, especially in intercultural and institutional contexts. Over time, my work moved increasingly toward digital and public discourse, with particular attention to aggression and conflict, such as online public shaming and cancel culture. From a discourse-pragmatic perspective, this research treats aggression, conflict, and moral evaluation as socially situated practices shaped by genre, platform affordances, and ideological positioning. More recently, I have focused on the aftermath of public transgression, exploring how forgiveness, repair, and reintegration are discursively negotiated in post-digital publics.<\/p>\n
