Grace Shieh, Class of 2023, is the 2023-2024 post-graduation research fellow for the OIE. While a student, Grace served as a student leader with various campus stakeholders including the Office of the Vice Chancellor, Residential Education, Community Outreach, and Student Government. She looks forward to continuing her work on campus this year, focusing on inclusion and belonging.
Her research will examine individual attitudes and relationships with accents with a focus on accent discrimination and inclusive pedagogy at NYU Abu Dhabi. She aims to assess accent climate across campus communities and develop workshops to facilitate dialog and cultivate inclusivity. Her work in creative writing explores the concept of form, and she hopes to broaden her examination of form with her research on accents.
Grace studied economics and creative writing at NYUAD with additional coursework in theater, literature, and music. She looks forward to joining her interests in research and arts this year.
