What you don't know re Kansas: “By 1930 the Mexican and Mexican-American population of Kansas was the seventh largest Mexican ancestral group in the United States, and this group comprised the second largest immigrant population in the state, after Germans.” Oppenheimer 1985: 431

The Chapman Center for Rural Studies is officially under new construction! Watch out for some big changes soon!

Planning to incorporate this resource as much as I can into my teaching: native-land.ca It made the rounds on twitter a few years back and I forgot to do it then, so placing it here for accountability

I'm giving a talk today on a project I started a dozen years ago! Visit K-State English Events calendar to join!

M coauthors and I are truly humbled by this award. This project represents a monumental coming together of community and scholars to learn more about how individuals negotiate their lingusitic identities over the lifespan. Many thanks to all the families who made this possible!

I'm late to the game because April+Academic but I do not support the LSA's newest resolution for reasons better said by scholars like @ACharityHudley and Jo Fruehwald. Frankly I find the timing of this proposal to be as suspect as its content

It has been a very sad last couple of days for the Center. We unfortunately have to say goodbye to our right-hand woman, Kim Westcott. Kim has been the most amazing Office Assistant, co-worker, friend, and part of the Chapman Center family for last almost 2 years... (1/3)
