The Wall Street Journal. Current Research Interests and Instruction Psycholinguistics & Cognitive Neuroscience Most of my research is concerned with how Americans use taboo or obscene language. I published WHY WE CURSE (2000), my theoretical treatment of the subject. WWC presents a comprehensive theory of language that addresses the use of emotional speech and cursing. Extensions into media, workplace speech, mental health, First Amendment, censorship, human sexuality, verbal abuse, sexual harassment and neurological issues are being explored. I am currently collecting data regarding children’s swearing in public and working on a new project concerning verbal fluency with taboo and nontaboo words. I published a textbook (and instructor’s manual) for Prentice-Hall on THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LANGUAGE (2003). I discuss some of my research in the context of courses on topics of language, cognition, education and introductory psychology. Teaching Philosophy Using the Socratic Method in almost all of my upper division courses makes the students responsible for completing readings and contributing to each class. I also require students to complete research projects and submit APA-style papers. I have sponsored and co-written many papers with undergraduates and am an advocate of learning by doing. I make extensive efforts to train and prepare research assistants for graduate schools and have been very successful at placing students.

I won a G.S. Hall Award for my teaching in Introductory Psychology and take great interest in what happens to students here. Students are called on individually in each class and are sometimes asked to answer questions in writing. They complete a demanding set of readings and then are tested each week. It may be the most important course I teach. With over 36 years of teaching experience and several distinguished teaching awards, it is clear that instruction is very important to me and that I do an exemplary job of it. I integrate several forms of media into discussions and lectures and generally go to great efforts to make material concrete and personal for students. Using a fair amount of humor and addressing issues of interest to students I maintain a lively atmosphere in my courses.
