This year we're going to be spotlighting books on our Instagrams, and over @UoNEnglish we've got some personalised recommendations from members of staff!

In this talk, Dr Angela Zottola will discuss her research on the representation of trans people in newspapers. In her analysis, she pinpoints negative or harmful practices and discuss how the linguistic choices in newspapers can influence the way gender and sexual identities are understood in society. The paper focuses on the use of terminology and, generally speaking, on the type of discourses associated with trans people in the press.This online event is free to attend but requires advanced registration.
