I'm an interdisciplinary researcher who works somewhere in the interstices between linguistics and philosophy with a continuing obsession with metaphor. As, from my perspective, metaphor is almost everywhere, this leads to a very varied range of research interests. I also study interaction in teaching situations and multimodality. More recently, I have been investigating relationships between embodiment, neuronal plasticity and metaphor, and have been developing an interest in using the Systemic Functional Linguistic notion of grammatical metaphor, and critical and posthumanist linguistics more generally.
I did my Master’s and BA in Cardiff (UK) and PhD in Lancaster (UK) and am a member of the Northern Theory School, and on the board of Revista ENTORNO UDLAP (Mexico).
