@AlisonAlm53 @sarahrileybrown I need to create a home-made version to post on YouTube.

@sarahrileybrown @craigsresearch Great to see you Craig @craigsresearch …would love to hear your talk!

@LoicMnzs @BERANews Yes. @PsychSexCC and I conducted a study last summer with 4 students, who we taught to use discourse analysis to analyse sexual self-help texts for men. The students will be named authors this time. Just need to write it up now.

@craigsresearch @BERANews That’s great! Have you got any more projects using that approach lined up now?

Loving this approach to peer research from @craigsresearch - what a great experience for undergrads to be involved in, leading to a fascinating study of understandings of “lad culture” on a university campus @BERANews
