Research Interests:
I am interested in stories and storytellers, and I pursue this interest in different contexts. I engage with questions of how gender ideology imprints itself on news discourse—past, present and particularly in times of armed conflict, how a sense of story enables us to make meaning of our experiences and those of others, and how cultivating narrative competence leads to more respectful and empathic medical care.
