Research interests
I am interested in and research communication in interpreter-mediated encounters in immigration settings. I focus on how interlocutors make sense during such encounters and thereby investigate the sense-making processes constituting communication. I specialize in complementing the investigation by deploying an ethnographic tool (semi-structured interviews). In my forthcoming book titled Interpreting as Sense-making: a linguistic-ethnographic case-study, I present an improved approach to studying interpreter-mediated encoutners.
