Today I took Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project to the Pontifical Catholic University in Rio, for a symposium on Corpus Approaches to Grammar and Discourse. And another stunning campus.

If you’re interested in the analysis of contemporary and historical datasets of vaccination discussions, listen at the link below for a showcase of Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project research.

Specifically, I discuss the three million word Victorian anti-vaccination discourse corpus ‘VicVaDis’.

Our Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project webinar on 'Communication about vaccines' for the Royal Society for Public Health Royal Society for Public Health is now available on YouTube:

We will miss you so much, Tara! Thank you for everything from everyone in CASS and Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project

After 3 amazing years, it’s my last day at CASS working on the Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project 😭

What an INCREDIBLE experience, I’m so grateful for the opportunity!

Thanks to my fantastic colleagues William Dance Elena Semino Dr Claire Hardaker Alice Deignan Dr Zsófia Demjén, @[email protected] Derek Gatherer

Feels very strange to be leaving CASS today after my last day working on Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project.

It’s been an amazing three years and I’m grateful to have done some really brilliant work with fantastic people.

Looking forward to what the future has in hold for me ⭐️

This evening at the Storey Institute in Lancaster, double-act by Rachel Isba Rachel Isba and myself on the last day of World Immunisation Week - part of RSChem Lancashire Public Lecture series: 'Vaccination is a huge global health success, so why do people hesitate?' eventbrite.co.uk/e/profs-isba-s…

'When we talk about vaccines, we can make a difference.'

Thanks to the Lancaster University Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project team for a great webinar on what linguistic analysis can tell us about communicating vaccinations.

#WorldImmunisationWeek

It was a lovely learning experience, and the research findings of the Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project are super interesting, William Dance

Thank you for your talk and for celebrating the #WorldImmunizationWeek with us at the Royal Society for Public Health !

Really enjoyed attending this talk this afternoon. It was full of fascinating insights into the #language being used to discuss #vaccines & how we can use this information to tackle #VaccineHesitancy .

Today at 1.00 we're presenting our Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project findings at this webinar.

This Friday (26/04) we will be presenting online as part of the Royal Society for Public Health (Royal Society for Public Health) webinar series.

We will be talking about findings from the last three years of Quo VaDis alongside upcoming research. You can sign up here: rsph.org.uk/event/communic…

Findings from Quo VaDis: Questioning Vaccine Discourse Project will be presented at 2 public lectures during World Immunisation week: in Lancaster on 30/4 lancaster.ac.uk/events/vaccina…; online on 26/4 as part of the Royal Society for Public Health webinar series rsph.org.uk/event/communic…. You can still sign up for both

We tested 10 #metaphors for #vaccinations and found that they can help with social interactions about vaccines: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… Stephen Flusberg
With Science Animated we created 5 animations based on the metaphors that worked best. You can find them here: wp.lancs.ac.uk/vaccination-di…

A recent study by Professors Elena Semino, Stephen Flusberg, and Alison Mackey highlights the power of the animated raincoat #metaphor in explaining why it is worth taking a #vaccine even if it isn't 100% effective.

In a recent study Professors Elena Semino, Stephen Flusberg, and Mackey explored metaphors' impact on understanding #vaccinations . The castle metaphor, among the top performers, illustrates how #vaccines work.
