Biography

Petre Breazu specializes in multimodal critical discourse studies, focusing on racism and discrimination legitimized and normalized by media on digital platforms. His research examines the representation of Roma and marginalised communities in European media and political discourse. Breazu's current research explores the generative analytical capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), with particular emphasis on uncovering racial, gendered, and political biases embedded within these models. Additionally, he investigates the potential of LLMs to enhance qualitative multimodal analysis. Breazu is a recipient of the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship.
