Emily Kecman

Emily Kecman is an Academic Casual in the Department of Linguistics at Macquarie University. Her research focuses on the intersection of linguistics, healthcare, and parental decision-making, particularly in the context of cochlear implants for children with hearing impairments.

Her research interests include the sociological and linguistic aspects of healthcare communication, specifically examining how information is disseminated to parents of children with hearing impairments. She explores topics such as parental decision-making processes, the role of technical language in medical contexts, and the ethical dimensions of cochlear implantation.

Recent publications analyze stakeholder engagement in healthcare decisions, the construction of parental roles in medical research, and the evolution of information provision over time. These studies highlight the need for clearer communication strategies and equitable decision-making frameworks in pediatric audiology.
