About Me

I'm Mitch, a linguist at Macquarie University, where I've been working since 2023. Before that, I completed my PhD in Linguistics at the University of Queensland in 2021, and was an Associate Lecturer at The University of Western Australia in 2022.

I primarily work on the description and documentation of Australian languages, especially Warlmanpa and (more recently) Warumungu. These languages are presently spoken in/around Tennant Creek ("Jurnkkurakurr"), in the Northern Territory.

You can hear some Warlmanpa words here and Warumungu words here; and both languages have a Plants and Animals book you can purchase from Papulu-Appar Kari Aboriginal Corporation.
