Studetns Research


The Multimodal Analysis of Online Discourse research group is deeply committed to supporting student research and nurturing the next generation of scholars. Our approach is hands-on and collaborative, ensuring that students are not only learning about academic research but are also actively participating in it.

We work closely with undergraduate students, guiding them through every stage of the research process. This includes helping them understand the basics of academic inquiry, training them in data collection and analysis, and supporting them as they prepare their work for publication. For example, a recent project brought together several group members and current undergraduates to co-author a research paper. The students were involved from the very beginning, developing research questions, collecting and analyzing data, and contributing to the writing and revision of the manuscript. Their dedication led to a successful publication, which is now highlighted in our featured publications.

Currently, we are also working with undergraduate students on a new project that explores disagreement in online discourse. This ongoing research gives students the chance to engage with timely and relevant issues in digital communication, while further developing their analytical and research skills.

Our support extends to graduate students as well. We provide advanced feedback, guidance, and training, helping them refine their research and prepare their work for publication. At the moment, several papers co-authored with graduate students are in press or under review at prestigious academic journals. Once these papers are published, they will be added to our featured publications, showcasing the achievements of our student collaborators.

In addition to research training and publication support, our strong connection with the Center of Translation allows us to offer specialized feedback and guidance to students working in translation studies. This partnership broadens the scope of our academic support, helping students enhance both their research and practical translation projects.

Through these efforts, we help students build confidence, develop essential research skills, and achieve academic success. We are proud of our students’ accomplishments and remain dedicated to guiding and celebrating their ongoing growth as scholars and professionals.​
