My Current Research

I am currently a graduate student in ethnomusicology at the Ohio State University. I recently completed my Master's thesis:

The Communication of Verbal Content on the Hmong Raj: An Ethnographic Analysis of Performance Practice" (4MB, .pdf)

My PhD approaches the relationship between music and language in Hmong culture from the standpoint of psycholinguistics and cognitive ethnomusicology.
