My research lies at the intersection of natural language processing and cultural analytics, with particular application to narrative medicine, computational humanities research, and online communities. In my work, I use computational methods to analyze how language reflects society, and I often collaborate with interdisciplinary teams in the humanities, the social sciences, and healthcare. I pay special attention to small data, reliability, and data ethics, and my research centers cultural data as both object of study and probe for NLP systems. I often use computational methods unconventionally, to identify outliers or in combination with qualitative methods.
