Current Projects

1. Embodying Emotion in Interaction:  A Biocultural-Linguistic Study of Communication and Physiology
- This project is a collaborative effort with researchers in Anthropology where we record romantic partners interacting in their homes while measuring biophysical activity.  We see how people co-construct and co-regulate communication and physical activities through everyday talk.

2. Romantic partners and political communication. 
- Dr. Peacocok and I are analyzing data to see how romantic partner communication about politics affects political participation and relational well-being. 

3. Communal coping and relational load during unemployment. 
-  In a collaboration with Dr. Crowley (University of Tennessee) we are exploring how romantic partners cope with unemployment.  

4. The communicative processes of families coping with bullying: Toward a model of communal repair. 
- This project involves analyzing conversations between parents and middle-school aged children about how to respond and cope with bullying experiences.
