Overview
Overview
I am a researcher who specialises in systemic functional linguistics, genre and register theory, discourse analysis and academic literacy. I have almost 20 years research and teaching experience in functional and applied linguistics, and an additional background in education, in particular literacy education.
My research has mostly focused on non-verbal communication and language disorder and disability, discipline-specific academic literacy and developments in systemic functional linguistic theory and discourse semantics. In addition to these areas, I am interested and involved in many applications of linguistic theory to a wide range of objects of study including language and power, evaluative language, disability issues (particularly intellectual disability and challenging behaviour) and media discourse. I have received a number of research grants and am currently convenor of the Disability Research Network at UOW and co-convenor of the IDEAS (Interdisciplinary Discourse analysis in Education, Arts and Social Sciences) Research Group.

Research Areas
Research Overview
-
As a (systemic functional) linguist, my research covers a wide range areas. These include language disorder, language and power, social media text, disciplinary knowledges and academic discourse, disability studies (including family members and carers of people with disabilities) and different applications and aspects of systemic functional linguistic theory.
I supervise students in many areas where systemic functional linguistic analysis is used, such the genre and register analysis of textbooks, and peer reviews of journal articles; second language development children with autism spectrum disorder, circumstantial meanings in academic journal articles, sports discourse, multimodal discourse analysis and more
