About Kathryn Remlinger

Kathryn Remlinger is a professor of English at Grand Valley State University in Allendale. She will be presenting with her new book Yooper Talk. Yooper Talk is a fresh and significant contribution to understanding regional language and culture in North America. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan—known as “the UP”—is historically, geographically, and culturally distinct. Struggles over land, labor, and language during the last 150 years have shaped the variety of English spoken by resident Yoopers, as well as how they are viewed by outsiders.
