I had a fantastic time at the The University of Manchester yesterday delivering a workshop on using linguistic methodologies to analyse extremist discourse. Thank you to everyone who took part. I came away with plenty to think about. #langsky #legitimation #discourseanalysis #extremismstudies
I had a lot of fun this afternoon delivering a workshop on linguistic approaches to analysing extremist data. Together, we explored legitimation theory & how it can be applied to the analysis of hate speech, extremist discourse & threat actor communication. 🧵👇 #linguistics #extremismstudies
Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of attending #TASM2026 & presenting some of my research on the political identities of radical right groups online. A huge thank you to the organisers for putting together such an engaging & inspiring conference. #TASM2026 #TASM #extremismstudies
I'm sorry. How am I supposed to finish preparing for #TASM2026 when this is sleeping beside me? @vox-pol.bsky.social

I've come back from annual leave to find this copy of Media Magazine on my desk. In Issue 96, @stephencushion.bsky.social, @maxwellmodell.bsky.social & myself talk about the Enhancing the Impartiality of Political News project. Thanks to @englangblog.bsky.social for the invite to write for them!
I need to send my new co-authors back to the factory. They appear to think belly rubs = writing. #academicsky #dogsky
