Siti Nurnadilla Mohamad Jamil is an Assistant Professor at the Department of English Language and Literature (DELL). She is very passionate about language and politics in general. Like Orwell, she is fascinated by how political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable. She works within a field of research known as Critical Discourse Studies (CDS). Her main research interests revolve around social inequalities and language use, and the ways that these interact with and affect each other, which include campaign rhetoric, argumentation, everydayness, race and racism, discourses on refugees and children’s discourse. She graduated with a first-class honour degree from DELL in 2012. She completed her MA in Discourse Studies at Lancaster University (UK) a year after where she was trained to be a Critical Discourse Analyst by one of the pioneers of CDS itself. She left the Department of Linguistics at Lancaster University to be supervised by an interdisciplinary research team at Loughborough University (UK) with John E. Richardson (CDS), Dominic Wring (Political communication) and Michael Skey (Media and communication).
