معرفی
Laurie Anderson is a Part-time Professor at the Max Weber Programme for Postdoctoral Studies, European University Institute (EUI), Florence, Italy. Her academic work bridges linguistics, social sciences, and professional communication, with a focus on multilingual and multicultural interaction settings.
Her research centers on sociolinguistic practices in institutional contexts, particularly in academic and clinical environments. Key interests include interpreter-mediated communication, discourse strategies in English as a lingua franca, and the linguistic challenges faced by mobile academics. Her work employs detailed discourse and conversation analysis to understand how language shapes inclusion, identity, and participation.
The recent publications highlight a sustained focus on how language and interaction mediate access and equity—whether in maternity healthcare for migrant women or in international academic conferences. These studies reflect interdisciplinary engagement with migration, health, and higher education policy.
