LUCC PhD Seminar - 24th October 2023


Our PhD research fellow, Fangzhou Zhu (Noah), will present the topic “Expressing resistance on Chinese social media during the anaphase of COVID-19: A discursive pragmatic approach” in our first PhD seminar this academic year. The seminar will take place at County South D72 on 24th October from 1200-1300.

Fangzhou is a PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University. His research mainly focuses on applying corpus linguistics in teaching English as a foreign language and online discourse analyses. This presentation will be about exploring the shifting effect on the strategic resistance practice in the anaphase of the COVID-19 pandemic, in which Chinese netizens shaped a unique combination of strategy-making and purposes under the persistent anti-pandemic policy, the ever-evolving censorship and the distraction released by the government.

The seminar will take place at County South D72 on Tuesday, 24th October, from 1200-1300.

Here are the PhD seminar poster and registration details.
