Jeffrey Reaser is a Ph.D. student in the collaborative Duke-NC State English-linguistics program. His current research interests center on two areas of sociolinguistics: variation in Bahamian enclaves and sociophonetic perception experimentation. He has authored or co-authored articles documenting various phonological and morphosyntactic variables in Bahamian enclaves. His long-term goals include a more detailed evaluation of the role of the linguistic individual and how patterns of individual variation in Bahamian varieties are related to ideologies of constructed and assigned ethnicity.
