I have been interested in the use and conception of language and how these relate to aspects of social life, in particular, to social identity, intergroup relations, and political and economic changes. My research combines linguistic analysis and interpretive ethnography. I am currently working on the “Rapa Nui Cultural and Linguistic Heritage Project,” to explore memory, social change, and language through oral history narratives. This NSF-NEH financed project will also build community resources for
the documentation and revitalization of the Rapa Nui language by creating a digital archive of oral history narratives.
