Alexandra Krendel is a lecturer in Applied Linguistics at the University of Southampton. Her research interests include online communication, online hate, corpus linguistics, and critical discourse analysis. She focuses on the language used in online feminist and anti-feminist men's groups, often referred to as the 'manosphere', which encompasses various male-focused communities that discuss perceived social and legal inequalities. These communities include men's rights activists, men-going-their-own-way (MGTOW), and pick-up artists, often employing manipulative tactics to attract women. In her work, she utilises multiple linguistic approaches including corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis. Krendel has also collaborated on the Future Human Reproduction project funded by the Wellcome Trust, which examines the cultural, ethical, and legal implications of technological developments in human reproduction from an interdisciplinary perspective.
