About me
My primary research interest is language and social interaction in institutional and professional contexts, including legal and investigative, healthcare, and corporate settings. I am particularly interested in the discursive construction of power relations in these situations, particularly when vulnerable or otherwise disadvantaged people are involved.
Building on my ESRC-funded PhD, my current research analyses police body-worn video footage to explore police-victim communication during first response call-outs at the scene of reported domestic abuse incidents. This work is supported by the UWE Vice Chancellor’s Early Career Researcher Development Award 2023‐25.
Area of expertise

I welcome enquiries about PhD supervision in relation to any of the above areas, including projects which focus on social interaction in different contexts.
