Join Dr Robbie Love as he speaks with top researchers in the field to find out more about how corpus linguistics – the study of linguistic patterns in large samples of language – is applied to a diverse range of areas including health, social justice and education.

Dr Mark McGlashan (Birmingham City University) joins Robbie Love to discuss the contribution of corpus linguistics to research on discrimination in a range of contexts.

Mark’s research interests predominantly centre on the synthesis and application of methods from Corpus Linguistics and (Critical) Discourse Studies to study social issues relevant to a focus on language and discrimination such as nationalism, racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Before joining Birmingham City University, Mark worked as Research Fellow at the WMG Cyber Security Centre, University of Warwick and Senior Research Associate at the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS), Lancaster University.

Mark studied at Lancaster University where he earned his doctorate in Applied Linguistics. His PhD thesis examined representations of same-sex parent families in children’s picturebooks, a rare collection of publications he has widely written and presented on.
