Active with the TGDP: Around 2013-2014
PhD in Germanic Studies (UT Austin)
Maggie’s research interests include all kinds of linguistic variation, particularly register variation and figurative language. Her dissertation dealt with a frame-semantic analysis of metaphor using data from German newspaper texts. Teaching German is another of her main interests, so she is always looking for new and engaging ways to introduce students to language variation. At home, she spends her time sewing and creating poetry and art.
Maggie has been an Instructor of German at Southern Oregon University (SOU) (2016-2020), the Chair of International Studies Program at SOU (2019), and an Assistant Professor of Instruction at UT at Austin (2020-2022).
