My birthday wish for today is for the person who has had my paper under review for over four months to finally submit their feedback.

It’s my 30th birthday tomorrow but I’m working so today we went to Matlock Bath. Some beautiful sights.

Dream job alert for many people!!!! 👇

I'm really happy that there is now a job opening for a Lecturer in Discourse Studies at @lancslinguistics.bsky.social. Closing date 4 September, interviews 21 September. This is a great opportunity for an early-career researcher, so get your application ready! hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx...

Good morning to everyone except the person who has had my paper for almost four months and still hasn't returned their review.

My work on Labour‘s representations of the NHS and nationhood is going to be a short-form book with Routledge Focus. Delighted! I guess I better crack on with it.

A very important theme for EDAW 2027! Hopefully findings from our project on support for parents of CYP with ARFID will coincide and we can share some resources related to the need for neuro-affirming care.

What a beautiful evening in Exmouth. Glorious.

A great first day! Can’t wait to get started on our project.

I start my new job this week! I’m looking forward to travelling to Exeter on Wednesday to get everything set up!

I really enjoyed #CADS2026 last week! So many fascinating presentations on how we can analyse large datasets of discourse with corpus methods! I presented our analysis conducted for @proacteuresponse.bsky.social, which looked at the ways users discussed clinical trial studies during the pandemic.

Pleased to have had an abstract accepted for the online conference ‘Discourses of Crisis: Language, Communication and Culture in Times of Polycrisis’. My talk is titled ‘A critical discourse analytical approach to polycrisis’.

And so #CADS2026 comes to an end. We had 4 plenaries, 99 papers, 18 posters and 150 delegates. Thank you from all of us to everyone who came and made it so special ❤️🩶

OUT NOW: @corpusling.bsky.social and Kelvin K. H. Lee introduce the Document Similarity tool, which gives corpus compilers more control over the deduplication process. Reported case studies demonstrate how consequential deduplication is to corpus-based discourse research. doi.org/10.1075/ijcl...

Soon time for my talk at #CADS2026 on how a gender-neutral pronoun has been translated (hint: nine different strategies!). The slides are available here: osf.io/z5k9j/files/...

Short-form book proposal goes to the board in the next week. Fingers crossed. This would be my first go at writing up thoughts on Starmer’s Labour after my CADS presentation. It would also foreground my thoughts on working on timely political questions, which I didn’t get chance to talk about.

Yesterday, Day 1 at #CAD26 @corporadiscourse.bsky.social Highlights from three panels: Nation and Nationhood, Health Discourses and Sexual and/or Gender-Based Violence.

Stunning misty views of Morecambe beach very early this morning. Believe it or not, these photos are not actually in black and white.

10 years since the EU referendum. Here is a list of works I’ve written on Brexit. 1. Constructing Brexit Britain A CADS book-length study on how the pro-Brexit press, Conservative government and citizens constructed national identity in times of Brexit. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/construct...

Combining corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and a discourse analysis of narratives, this book considers one aspect of the Brexit process: the lan…

Had to leave CADS earlier than anticipated to get back to my little girl in the heat. But I had a marvellous time and will be watching the hashtag from afar to catch glimpses of the talks and plenaries I was looking forward to.

Interesting piece that also falls down on messaging as one key aspect of Starmer’s downfall. #CADS2026
