Jessi Grieser is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Michigan. Her research primarily investigates the use of African American Language styles in constructing identities that are often not strictly tied to ethnoracial categories. Grieser explores how these identities relate to social class and other factors, employing diverse methodologies such as discourse analysis, sociophonetics, and quantitative variationist analysis to understand the intersections of these fields. Her work delves into the complexities of language variation, geosemiotics, and the representation of identity in both offline and online contexts, making significant contributions to the fields of sociolinguistics and discourse studies.
