Expert Bio

Professor Erica Brozovsky is a sociolinguist, a public scholar, and a lover of words. Her research and teaching interests include language variation and change, bicultural rhetoric, writing, and Asian American studies. She can speak about the unique history of words, what language, how we speak, and words tell us about what it means to be human.

Brozovsky hosts and writes for Otherwords, a PBS web series on language and linguistics, and hosts Crash Course’s virtual course How to College. She writes about the sociocultural history and status of literacy. 

Brozovsky is a former director of programming for the national board of the Taiwanese American Citizens League and has served as program coordinator for Stories Within, a mini-documentary series that highlights Asian Texan voices.
