About Christine
I am a BA'21-PHD candidate at UC Irvine Anthropology. In addition to core training in ethnographic methods and analyses, I have an academic background in the humanities (more specifically, Chinese language and literature) and STS, as well as professional experience in simultaneous interpretation (KOR/ENG) and UI/UX. My work examines how language, access, and embodiment are reconfigured through emerging technologies (e.g., VR and AI), particularly in d/Deaf, crip, transnational, and digital contexts. I am a creative at heart, and find joy in coding my creativity into accessible yet rigorous scholarship.
