RESEARCH INTERESTS

The unifying theme which encompasses most of my research is the way speakers construct identities through discourse, a topic which brings together sociolinguistics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, communities of practice and interaction analysis.  Projects within this broad theme include address forms, politeness, political discourse, and strategic communication for those living in border communities or  in a diasporic context.  Since 2013, my qualitative research focus has led me to participate in research projects taking a social sciences One Health perspective in examining antimicrobial resistance. Between 2020 and 2023 I was scientific coordinator of a project examining  healthcare users, prescribers and providers of antibiotics and stakeholders in Brazil, using both top-down and bottom-up research strategies.
