About Andrea Sanchez
In 2019, Andrea Sanchez led the 'Voice & Veil' field study across seven U.S. cities, recording over 4,000 naturally occurring bilingual interactions in barbershops, mutual aid kitchens, and community radio stations, then mapping how code-switching patterns correlated with shifts in self-reported belonging during periods of local policy upheaval. Her breakthrough wasn’t just methodological; it was ethical: she co-designed consent protocols with participants that treated linguistic choices as acts of sovereignty, not data points. This work directly challenged dominant NLP training paradigms by demonstrating that identity isn’t embedded in isolated utterances but in the rhythmic, embodied negotiation of speech across time and space. She refuses anonymization that erases accent or register, insisting instead on contextualized, attribution-respectful archiving. Her current project, 'Syntax of Solidarity,' analyzes how protest chants evolve linguistically across generations, not as lexical change, but as recalibrations of collective voice.
