My name is Caitlin Hogan and I'm a PhD researcher in Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London. I specialise in fandom culture, social media and how we can analyse language use online. I use corpus methods along with discourse analysis in most of my research.
I have published papers in the Journal of Language and Politics as well as Social Media & Society, and I have also reviewed manuscripts for publication in Social Media & Society. I've also presented at several conferences around the world. I also teach several courses on corpus linguistiscs, web scraping, and corpus-assisted discourse analysis (CADS).
After graduating with a BA (Linguistics) from the University of Chicago in 2019, and QMUL with a Masters of Research (MRes) in 2022, I am now pursuing a PhD at Queen Mary University of London funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). I am also a Research Associate at the Concept Analytics Lab at the University of Sussex.
