Biography
My research investigates the experience of deafness among deaf children and their families in Mexico City, Mexico. To address the interrelatedness of human biology, culture, and language among deaf participants, I integrate the analytical lens of medical anthropology with sociocultural-linguistic theoretical approaches. I designed my yearlong community-based research utilizing innovative ethnographic methodology, including photovoice and personal history timelines with deaf sixth graders at a not-for-profit deaf school called IPPLIAP. "Photovoice" involves participatory analysis of deaf youth's photographs in response to themes such as Mexican Sign Language, Family, and A Day in My Life.
I came to UNF from the University of South Florida where I earned my PhD in Applied, Medical Anthropology. Prior to moving to Jacksonville, I taught in Mexico, Cambodia, Colorado, Arizona, and Florida. I love anthropology, especially the intersections of biology and culture. I also enjoy motherhood and spending time with my family, being outdoors, art of all kinds, and learning new things.
To learn more about Proyecto Fotovoz, my use of photovoice methods in the undergraduate classroom, and to see faculty-led student research projects, please visit my website.
