Research Interests

Radhika is interested in studying language and accent as group markers. Her research also explores the development of children’s negotiation skills, and ideas about resource entitlement (in particular as it relates to immigration). She is currently pursuing cross-cultural work examining how children conceptualize leadership and nationality in different cultural contexts.
