About
My research interests lie at the interface of Sociolinguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis. I am interested in social, race and gender (in) equalities and the ways language is used to sustain or challenge such inequalities. I currently work on narratives of/about migration and how they often perpetuate harmful stereotypes of 'deserving' and 'good' migrants. Another strand of my research focuses on standardised language ideologies, dialect and identity in educational contexts that is tied to the impact case study 'Enhancing teaching practices and empowering students'. I am currently an external collaborator on the international project "Tracing Racism in Anti-raCist discourse: a critical approach to European public speech on the migrant and refugee crisis" (TRACE/ HFRI-FM17-42), funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation, in collaboration with Universities in Greece, Malta and Switzerland. I am a member of the UKRI ESRC Assessor and Peer ReviewCollege. My office hours in semester 2 are Mondays 1-2pm (on Teams) and Thursdays 12-1pm (f2f).
