Will Oxford holds a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Toronto and is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Manitoba. His research primarily focuses on theoretical and descriptive syntax and morphology, especially in the context of Algonquian languages. He has extensive fieldwork experience with languages such as Innu, Ojibwe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Kapampangan, and Ilocano. Oxford supervises both MA and PhD students and has been actively involved in various research projects, including the preparation of a Proto-Algonquian dictionary publication and the forthcoming book titled 'Algonquian Inverse' with Oxford University Press. He has held a SSHRC Insight Development Grant and has contributed to numerous publications addressing agreement patterns, inverse marking, and other aspects of Algonquian linguistics. He has recently returned to the University of Manitoba after a teaching year at MIT, and his work engages deeply with theories of morphosyntactic alignment in Indigenous languages.
