Laura's talk will be: "'Mentally ill' or 'terrorist': a discourse and ethnographic approach to the framing of the murderer of politician Jo Cox in British tabloid and broadsheet newspapers"
Abbie will be presenting "Does accent and phonation type affect British English locus equations and their loci values?", which she will also be presenting at the British Conference of Undergraduate Research in Bournemouth.
Additionally, one of our first year students, Macarena Chiclana, will be presenting her co-authored research at ULAB:
