About

My main research interests are located at the intersections between discourse and rhetorical studies, with an emphasis on the critical approaches within these traditions. I combine detailed examinations and analyses of discourse—by the elites, in the media and in everyday conversation—with more general rhetorical approaches to the purposes and consequences of texts (this  last term understood in a broad sense as comprising written and spoken discourse, together with the images that may accompany these).
The main contexts to which I apply this multidisciplinary framework include:
-the examination of the interplay between discursive manifestations, cognitive processes, and their broader socio-political contexts.
-the analysis of communication practices that contribute to and/or perpetuate the marginalization of minority groups.
