Biography

I joined the University of Glasgow in 2019, having worked on a large AHRC-funded project “Translation and Translanguaging: Investigating linguistic and cultural transformations in superdiverse wards in four UK cities (2014-2018)” (TLANG), and my wider research interests to this date include multilingualism.

Since 2023, I have been involved as a Co-I on the Clarus project. This EU and UKRI funded project aims to improve the quality, impartiality and reliability of digital forensics by working with forensic scientists, police investigators and the public. My role involves investigating how digital forensic practictioners communicate in their working practice.

Research interests

Research Interests

My research interests include institutional and professional discourse, and in my previous work I investigated the language used by Police Community Support Officers in interactions with members of the public. As a linguistic ethnographer, I am interested in how and why use language in different contexts, and my work draws on interactional sociolinguistics. More recently, I have also been involved in research in the area of public administration, looking at corporatisation within local authorities, and I am currently thinking of ways in which some of the findings can be of use to discourse analysts.

Institutional and professional contexts which I tend to be interested mostly tend to invovle some legal background, but I am also interested in the ways in which multilingualism features in different organisations. I am currently investigating judges' language ideologies in cases with alledged language discrimination, for example.

Teaching

I convene two post-graduate taught courses: Forensic Linguistics (ENGLANG5126) [not running in 2024-25] and Multilingualism: Individuals, Institutions and Society (ENGLANG5129). I also contribute to Applying Linguistics in Social and Professional Life (ENGLANG5117). The courses have been designed to form part of our MSc in Applied Linguistics, which I convene, but they can be taken by students attending other postgraduate taught degrees within English Language & Linguistics and beyond. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

In addition, I convene and teach an Honours-level course Discourse in Professsional Contexts (ENGLANG4050), which tends to run every other year. I also convene a team-taught course Culture and English Language Teaching (ENGLANG4033), which also tends to run every other year.
