Brief description of my research work
My current research focuses on the embodiment of gender and how masculinity is defined, constructed, deconstructed, and reshaped within medical discourse. I anticipate conducting fieldwork in hospital to observe doctor-patient interactions and the discourse manipulation strategies employed by healthcare professionals.
