Current work
Currently I am working on a monograph on discursive approaches to politeness and Impoliteness. I am also working on a project with Karen Grainger on indirectness and directness, particularly in cross cultural and intercultural contexts. I am also just completing the following books
- with Daniel Kadar ed: East Asian Politeness, Cambridge University Press
- with Louise Mullany Language Gender and Feminism, Routledge
- with Linguistic Politeness Research Group Discursive Approaches to Politeness, Mouton
- Gender Matters, Equinox
- with Durant and Furniss, Ways of Reading, 4th edition, Routledge
My research falls into several different categories feminist linguistics, gender and politeness, feminist postcolonial theory, and critical theory.
