RESEARCH INTERESTS

As a (systemic functional) linguist, Shoshana's 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.

Shoshana is the co-convenor (with Associate Professor Pauline Jones) of the Interdisciplinary Discourse Analysis in Education, Arts and Social Sciences (IDEAS) research group. IDEAS focuses on the applications of theories of linguistics and semiotics to a broad range of social issues and objects of study. Its membership comprises an intergenerational group of scholars from across UOW and beyond who meet weekly for a program of seminars, workshops and student and visiting scholar presentations.

Shoshana started and is also the co-convenor of UOW's Global Challenges funded Disability Research Network (DRN). This network has brought together UOW scholars researching in the disability space and is forging links between UOW, people living with disability, the disability sector, the council, and scholars at other institutes. The DRN hosts seminars at UOW on disability related topics.

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
