Faculty Member, School of Arts and Cultures

Senior Lecturer Critical Discourse Studies

About

My main research interests revolve around social inequalities and language use, and the ways that these interact with and affect each other.
In more detail, much of my work may be described as 'Critical Discourse Analysis', or CDA. I assume that because language use contributes to the production and the reproduction of social life, logically, it must play a part in producing and reproducing social inequalities. CDA aims to show how this occurs, thereby linking social and linguistic analysis.
I am currently analysing the discourses of British fascism - using discourse historic analysis to chart continuities and divergences in the ideas, arguments & actions of British fascist parties and movements, over the past 90 or so years.
