In this episode of the Murmurations podcast, Darren speaks to Dr Veronika Koller (Lancaster University) on the role of language and metaphor in society. They discuss what we mean by discourse and how we analyse it critically - covering a number of current topics, including populism, immigration, COVID-19 and much more. Veronika is also a co-host on the Words and Actions podcast and they finish up with some chat about podcasting in academia.
