Join us at Clippings’ April hybrid event 'Looking into socially relevant picturebooks', bringing together the expertise of our Glasgow University CLIP associate, Izaskun Elorza from LINDES, University of Salamanca, alongside Mark McGlashan who will join us virtually from Birmingham City University. They will talk about the affordances of corpus-assisted and systemic-functional multimodal critical discourse analysis for studying multimodal representations of socially relevant themes, and will present recent research focusing on picturebooks featuring same-sex (lesbian and gay) parents/caregivers, non-conforming male gender identities and migrant characterisation. We look forward to welcoming you for discussion and exchange of ideas.
