Scholarly Interests

Cultural Futures, Cultural Innovations and Identities
    In a plural society, people with diverse cultural values interact in ways that illuminate different cultural templates, and create new ones.  I chart the processes of cultural innovation and identity creation.
    .
The Cultural Context of Science and Technology within the Pacific Rim
    Science and technological work exists within larger cultural frameworks.  I explore the connections between specialized work and parental communities in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, New Zealand/Australia and California.
    .

Medical Epistemology And Health Choices

    Health choices made by individuals and practitioners are made within the context of urban medical pluralism and are intimately linked with work and family obligations. 
    .  

Work, Family and Community

    Cultural futures, cultural innovation and technology work are enacted in everyday life in the domains of work, family and community in Silicon Valley.
