Areas of Research
Global mobility, Identity, and belonging
Global mobility often challenges and reshapes individuals' understanding of themselves and their communities as they engage with diverse experiences, languages, and belief systems. My work delves into the complex process of how international students and scholars negotiate their identities, sense of self, and feelings of belonging in today's interconnected and globalized world.
Women in academia
Globally, women have encountered substantial barriers and discrimination while striving to pursue academic careers, resulting in their underrepresentation in diverse fields and leadership roles. My research investigates the persisting colonial, patriarchal, and racist legacies that perpetuate injustices. I hope to bring about new perspectives for fostering a more equitable academic profession.
Higher Education Internationalization
My research encompasses examining the strategies, policies, practices, and challenges involved in integrating international perspectives into the higher education landscape. My research grapples with several crucial aspects of higher education internationalization such as student and faculty mobility, curriculum internationalization, and global citizenship education.
Humanizing qualitative inquiries
Instead of merely gathering data, I aim to cultivate empathy and connection through collaborative research with the participants. My work employs diverse methodological approaches such as art-based inquiry, ethnography, narrative inquiry, and participatory design, all of which contribute to humanizing the research participants and the overall research process.
