Dr. Schrauf’s research addresses language and culture in health, illness, and aging – hence: health applied linguistics and medical anthropology. He has collaborated with colleagues across linguistic and clinical disciplines in projects, special issues, and edited volumes on language and Alzheimer’s disease, as for example Dialogue and Dementia (with Nicole Müller; Taylor & Francis, 2014) and Multilingual Interaction and Dementia (with Charlotte Plejert and Camilla Lindholm; Multilingual Matters, 2017) and on health applied linguistics more generally: Applying Linguistics in Health Research, Education, and Policy (with Brett Diaz; Mouton de Gruyter, 2023). He works with qualitative methods (discourse analysis, linguistic anthropology) and quantitative methods (multivariate exploratory techniques, metric scaling), and in 2016 he published entitled Mixed Methods: Interviews, Surveys, and Cross-Cultural Comparisons (Cambridge). Current projects are a study on helpseeking by older Puerto Ricans after Hurricane Maria (NIH) and a collaboration with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to develop and deliver a curriculum for academic physicians who work with multilingual populations (NIH).
