I am a predominantly qualitative social sciences researcher. I have conducted ethnography, interviews, focus groups, discourse analysis, and surveys.
I am interested in studying
the social & cultural implications of digital media and transnational popular culture on youth, families, and immigrant communities. I am currently focusing on Vietnamese and Vietnamese Americans, and popular culture from East Asia and Hollywood.
