Hi, my name is Katharina Pabst. My pronouns are she/her. I am an Assistant Professor of English Linguistics at Radboud University in the Netherlands. My research lies at the intersection of Variationist Sociolinguistics and World Englishes, and explores the role of social, linguistic, and attitudinal factors in language change.

As an educator, I am committed to providing an inclusive learning environment that encourages students to connect the course material to their own lives, develop strong analytical skills, and appreciate (linguistic) diversity. I am an advocate for research-based teaching, and recently participated in the first Workshop on Scholarly Teaching and SoTL in Linguistics, where we developed and piloted guidelines for peer-reviewed teaching materials. For more information on my teaching-related activities, click here.
I am an active member of the Linguistic Society of America's Committee on Gender Equity in Linguistics (COGEL). I currently serve on the PUMP subcommittee, which organizes pop-up mentoring events at linguistics conferences.
In my free time, I love baking, catching up on my favourite TV shows, and spending time with my rescue dog Cabbie.
