As a socio-cultural anthropologist, researcher, and language instructor Dr. Sandra López-Rocha’s training and experience includes interdisciplinary studies, ethnographic research and instructional systems design, derived from her first PhD work at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Her ethnographic work over the years involved the study of Egyptian, American, Latin American (Chilean and El Salvadorians in particular), and English cultures. Her research focus has been centered on diasporic communities (i.e., movement, adaptation, identity, and community making) and cross-cultural communication (nonverbal communication, culture shock and acculturation, and linguistic change). Further research interests include urban anthropology, linguistic and psychological anthropology, as well as nethnography/anthropology of the cyberspace. Dr. López-Rocha has just completed her second PhD at the University of Bristol in the area of social anthropology.
