Research Overview

My research interests include corpus linguistics, forensic linguistics, sociolinguistics and news discourse and discourse analysis. My previous research covers language variation on social media, especially Twitter. I also have experience in authorship analysis. My current research examines the representation of Islam in the press. I am also investigating second learner language and spoken language. I have received Leverhulme's early career researcher fellowship to investigate anti-science discourses, such as anti-vaccination discourse, climate change denials, and anti-GMO discourse.
