Biography

Research Interest: My research focuses on how cultural products—such as video games, films, and sports—shape cross cultural perceptions and identities. I’m particularly interested in how non-Western narratives are translated, received, and reimagined in global contexts. I investigate how media persuasion operates outside traditional diplomacy by analyzing audience responses and cultural discourse. My goal is to understand how media both disrupts and sustains cultural stereotypes.
