I am an associate professor of anthropology and director of the Digital Humanities Institute at the University of North Florida where I teach in a department dedicated to the four field approach. 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 use a community-based approach that incorporates participatory and visual methods including photovoice, digital storytelling and personal history timelines.
