Please send me an email if you’d like to look into pursuing a PhD under my supervision starting in Sept 2024
Deadlines for scholarships are Jan 2024. International applicants very welcome. I prioritise research proposals over CVs. See my bio for some relevant research topics
FTR: British system is different than many others. We fund 3-year PhDs, research only, though some programmes are 4 years, with a funded 1-year MA first. You need a full proposal. Main funder is ESRC but AHRC also possible. We have a big, active, intl group in a great dept
Also now is the time to get in touch with academics across the UK for PhDs — not just me. Departments don’t usually post open calls because funding is external and regular and tied to individual supervisors. Your potential supervisor should help you prepare your application

Really enjoyed giving a talk today on #fakenews#linguistics for the Fakespeak project at the University of Oslo today. A quick 🧵...
My basic argument is that there a lots of definitions of Fake News out there and a taxonomy of fake news is therefore very useful to make sense of this situation and to theoretically ground our research...
The taxonomy I propose is based on the concepts of veracity (true/false news) and honesty (honest/dishonest news), which I argue are independent concepts.
