Personal profile

Biography

Hello! I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies (CTIS) at the University of Manchester where I teach on the MA in Intercultural Communication, for which I also serve as Programme Director from September 2025.

Before joining CTIS in September 2022, I was an Early Career Fellow (post-doc, 04/22-09/22) in the Institure of Advanced Studies (IAS) at the University of Warwick, where I also spent five rewarding years in the Department of Applied Linguistics as a postgraduate student (MSc and PhD) and had the pleasure to be supervised by Professor Stephanie Schnurr and Dr Kieran File. In the past, I had also been an Associate Lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London (01/22-06/22). I obtained my BA in English Language & Literature from the University of Athens, Greece. 

Research interests

My research interests lie in the fields of Sociolinguistics, Discourse Analysis and Intercultural Communication more broadly, and in leadership - followership, sports communication and identity construction more specifically. As a result, I have been invited to participate in a recently established Business Engagement and Knowledge Exchange (BEKE) research cluster in Sports with colleagues from AMBS, SALC and SoSS at the University of Manchester.

As a member of the Sports Culture and Communication Research Collective, I had the pleasure to participate (and act partially as a research assistant) in research projects where we have explored the crucial role of language in high performance sports. These were conducted in partnership with Boxing England and UK Coaching.

Additionally, together with colleagues from Warwick, Ghent University and KU Leuven, we conducted research on COVID-19 narratives and identity construction on Instagram as well as on othering and identity negotiation in examples of verbal aggression.
