[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We are a group of researchers based at the University of Reading working on a range of projects focusing on best ways to accommodate diversity in the workplace. We aim to understand issues relating to diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and consider the implications for good workplace practice and policy. We want to collaborate with organisations to understand key challenges and constraints and co-design workplace place and guidance on best workplace practice.

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”659″][vc_column_text]Professor Sylvia Jaworska<\/a><\/p>\n

\nRead Bio ><\/u><\/summary>\n

Professor Sylvia Jaworska’s research is concerned with professional communication, specifically with the ways in which various forms of media, business and health communications perpetuate social stereotyping and biases in relation to gender, age, race, ethnicity and expected social roles (motherhood, ideal worker etc). My approach to research is based on quantitative and qualitative methods commonly used in linguistics and social sciences to study discourse and communication; it mostly involves a computational and corpus-assisted discourse analysis, which allows for exploring systematic patterns of discourse and biases in large collections of texts.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n
