Andrea Banicki

The confluence of my experiences studying and working around the world (in places such as Spain, Taiwan, and Qatar) along with my interest in politics, language, and society have led me to undertake my Ph.D. in the ALDS program at Carleton University. My goal is to add Corpus Linguistics research design and analysis skills to my research interests on the interrelationship between language, power, ideology, and the law. I’m particularly interested in researching discourse of the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as the interpretation of language in legal contexts and the effects of such discourse and language on society.
