Dr Sandra Vázquez has worked with the research group GENTEXT in different projects related to gender, ideologies and discourse and has contributed to different seminars, conferences etc. and also published several works on these issues. Her research focuses on the phenomenon of indirect linguistic sexism from the perspective of third wave feminism. She analyses how subtle manifestations of the negotiation of gender identities and power are carried out in the context of computer-mediated communication and, also, in how localized practices relate to broader institutional frameworks. She received her PhD in 2013 from the University of Valencia and today she will examine how a specific discourse feature of indirect linguistic sexism –that of humour– is used by digital media user to negotiate their social and gender identities in discourse.
