Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Amnee Elkhalid's research investigates how communication shapes family dynamics, identity, and intergenerational relationships, particularly within diverse and diasporic communities. Her work explores the complexities of navigating cultural, ethnic, and religious differences in family interactions. Elkhalid has examined intergenerational storytelling in Palestinian families as a means of connecting history, identity, and place, and has studied how Polish families perpetuate and heal intergenerational trauma through shared narratives. She also analyzes communication related to godparenthood for relational maintenance and closeness. Further research addresses how school district communication officers made sense of parent activists during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of citizenship in romantic relationships, including stigmatizing communication patterns. Elkhalid's scholarship contributes to understanding the communicative construction of identity and belonging across various relational contexts.
