Asst Prof Rachel Chen Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics & Multilingual Studies, Nanyang Technological University
Dr. Rachel S.Y. Chen (Ph.D) is an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University, School of Humanities, Linguistics and Multilingual Studies. She is also the Medical Humanities Cluster coordinator at NTU. Rachel pursues interdisciplinary research and teaching in the areas of disability, multimodal (embodied) human interaction, and design. Her work integrates video- and micro-analyses of everyday social interaction with the ethical design of new therapeutic tools. Rachel has worked with non-speaking autistic individuals for over a decade, studying their creative communicative competences that often go amiss. She has also worked with other disabled populations (blind children, stuttering, dyspraxia etc.), grounding her research in collaborations with disabled individuals, families, as well as educational and healthcare organizations. Rachel believes that ethical research on disability and healthcare must involve disabled voices at the very core.
