General Information
Biography
Corey focuses his research on problematic, conflict-ridden communication in everyday social interactions. Specifically, he examines how people negotiate meaning in conversations that center disability, neurodiversity, mental health, and illness across organizational, cultural, and interpersonal contexts. He employs game theory and other inventive methods to build neuro-inclusive and accessible technologies, environments, and spaces as well as to represent various diverse bodyminds. He's working to expand the microaggression research program (MRP) and initiatives for neurodiverse workplace intermediaries (NWIs). He currently works at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He's been published in Text and Performance Quarterly, Cultural Studies Critical Methodologies, Health Communication, and Communication Education.
