Check it out - the corpus MOOC is back (15th September) on a new platform (edX) exploring new topics, including AI. One thing has not changed - it is still free to access 😁 Find out more here: www.edx.org/learn/social...

At #RaAM17 @raammetaphor.bsky.social, I was pleased to present, on behalf of our team, one study from the 4D Picture project, on “Metaphors, identities, and gender in online interactions about cancer”. It was my first in-person RaAM, and I loved every bit of it.

Just received the final proofs of this book, based on @corpussocialsci.bsky.social research on health communication. It will be out *open access* later this year. @paulari.bsky.social @gavinbrookes.bsky.social @lukeccollins.bsky.social @tonymcenery.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/books/a...

Always so special to get lots of our staff, students and alumni together. A lovely evening after #EAPC2025

Glad to share our poster at #EAPC2025 on metaphors, identities & gender in cancer communication—part of @4dpicture, with key contributions from @corpussocialsci.bsky.social @ioelc.bsky.social @ucrelnlp.bsky.social The Junior Forum was a real highlight—truly motivating as an ECR.

I should start my day with little lambs and ducks.

Something weird about Web of Science… They have automatically added someone else’s research outputs to my profile. I cannot even find a way to delete that person’s name and organisations on my profile. It’s funny to see myself in the fields of Engineering and Linguistics at the same time…
