Dr. Sharese King is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago, formerly named The Neubauer Family Assistant Professor in 2020. As a sociolinguist, King examines the relationship between race and language. Drawing on both ethnographic and experimental techniques, her research explores how African Americans use language to construct multidimensional identities, how linguistic styles come to be racialized as Black, and the social and political consequences of this racialization.
