Accepting PhD Students
PhD projects
With extensive experience as a principal supervisor at Northumbria, I have successfully guided research students to the completion of their PhD degrees, tailoring my approach to each student to help them achieve their full potential.
I welcome research proposals in cognitive linguistics, health communication, narrative studies, discourse analysis, stylistics, metaphor studies, corpus linguistics, and interdisciplinary projects.
I am particularly interested in projects that employ mixed-methods and multi-disciplinary approaches to investigate the intersection of language with health, wellbeing, identity and personhood, as well as those that explore the cognitive and sociocultural dimensions of narratives and storytelling.
If you are passionate about any of these areas and eager to contribute to advancing our understanding of language and communication across various genres and contexts, I would be delighted to discuss your research proposals.
