OLAMIDE OGUNDARE

I am a mixed-methods researcher whose work sits at the intersection of health and intercultural communication. My primary research focuses on how peer and institutional health messaging shapes trust and access and determines adoption of preventive health behaviors in underserved populations.  Additionally, I am also interested in gendered research, interpersonal interactions, and organizational communication. My interests span various disciplines, including communication, psychology, public health, and linguistics. 

I hold a B.A. in Linguistics and an M.A. in African Studies (Cultural and Media Studies) from the University of Ibadan, as well as an M.A. in Linguistics from the University of Utah.

Outside of research, I genuinely enjoy rest (sleep is essential😍!) and staying curious - always exploring new ideas. You can find more about my publications and conference work in the scholarly section of this site.

I am always happy to meet new people. Feel free to send me a message on LinkedIn or fill out this survey to share your ideas or just for casual discussion.
