Bridget Palmer Jeopardy Contestant Profile
Bridget Palmer is a university teacher and researcher currently based in Turku, Finland, where she works at the University of Turku’s Centre for Language and Communication Studies. Originally from Beaverton, Oregon, she has built an international academic career focused on English language teaching, intercultural communication, and classroom dynamics across cultures. Palmer has worked at the University of Turku since 2015, teaching English Academic and Professional Skills to students in social sciences and education, while also leading intercultural communication courses, staff trainings, and academic presentation skills instruction for UTUGS students.
Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and a Master of Arts in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Before moving to Finland, Palmer taught English for Academic and Special Purposes internationally, including positions at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and at Amideast in both Amman, Jordan, and Damascus, Syria. Her research primarily centers on intercultural communication and the challenges that emerge in multilingual and multicultural classrooms. Her MA thesis explored cultural conflicts between Western instructors and Arab students in UAE English-language classrooms, and portions of that work were later adapted into the 2015 journal article “Understanding Cultural Conflict in EFL Classrooms in the UAE,” published in the Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics.
Beyond intercultural communication, Palmer has researched TOEFL washback in EFL classrooms, portfolio assessment, technology and motivation in language learning through YouTube, and Finnish cultural identity as reflected in the Finnish Nightmares comic series.
