I am a linguist/discourse analyst with a deep interest in the transformative potential of language (awareness) for a just, equal, sustainable society. I am an advocate of transformative education, specifically through the Inner Development Goals (IDGs). My mission is to change the world through educating the future generations to be aware of complexities, be critical and analytical and have the courage to act when necessary.
I have been studying and researching communication for over 15 years, and published in a range of academic journals and edited volumes. But I am equally proud of my work published for non-academic audiences: the podcast I co-host (Words and Actions) my book on "Writing online" by Business Expert Press, and my book on "Language in Business, Language at work" - currently in redevelopment for a 2nd updated edition by Bloomsbury.
