RESEARCH

My scholarship addresses contemporary issues, particularly those that seek to challenge and reverse systemic marginalization based on gender, religion, language, or nationality. Resulting from my own experiences as an immigrant woman, and the decade-long impact of immigration policies on my life, I inquire policy languages with a grounding in rhetoric and technical communication theories and methods to help unpack and resolve the atrocities created by the language and intent and their impact on the lives of people.
