Research
For an overview of my areas of interest and outputs, you can see https://www.markmcglashan.com/.
I am broadly interested in the following areas of research:
• Corpus Linguistics
• (Critical) Discourse Studies
• Corpus-assisted Discourse Studies
• Multimodality (especially the development and application of methods that in some way combine approaches from Corpus Linguistics, (Critical) Discourse Studies, and Multimodality)
• Gender & Sexuality
• Social Network Analysis
• Language and its relationships with power, politics, discrimination, abuse, and conflict (e.g. racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, nationalism).
• (Online) identities and discourse communities/communities of practice
• News media and/or (social) media discourse
Specifically, I would be interested in supervising PhD projects that respond to the following areas of interest:
• Language and (online) misogyny
• The application of linguistic methods in (online) safeguarding, especially work that applies corpus linguistic methods to the analysis of language relating to, for example: Sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, self-harm and suicide, eating disorders, radicalisation and extremism.
