Affliate Faculty

Health Law & Bioethics

In June 2023, I became an affiliate faculty member at the Health Law & Bioethics Concentrations at the University of Minnesota Law School. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with law students to address health policies that impact our access to and quality of care for marginalized populations.

Book Review

Health Communication, published online

"Elaine Hsieh and Eric M. Kramer draw from their own groundbreaking research [...] to conceptualize the field of health communication writ large through the lens of intercultural encounters. They accomplish this task in a way that both serves as a welcoming introduction to the field for students and emergent scholars and, at the same time, as a nuanced, theoretically rich resource for senior scholars already well familiar with the field, its history, and its core theoretical trajectories.." Jensen & Almuaili
