Researcher Summary
I am interested in how people 'achieve' things in talk-in-interaction and storytelling, and how these impact social norms such as heterosexism, race, and community. I am also interested in the impacts of multilingualism, and have proficiency in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Urdu and English.
In my current project, we aim to understand how narrative structure changes, and how people who have experienced a natural disaster process the experience over time, by telling and retelling their stories in a conversational setting.
