Biography

Piotr Wegorowski joined the University of Glasgow in 2019 and has worked on a large Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)-funded project titled 'Translation and Translanguaging: Investigating Linguistic and Cultural Transformations in Superdiverse Wards in Four UK Cities' (TLANG), which ran from 2014 to 2018. His research interests encompass multilingualism and institutional professional discourse. In 2023, he became involved as a Co-Investigator for the Clarus project, a European Union UKRI funded initiative aimed at enhancing the quality, impartiality, and reliability of digital forensics in collaboration with forensic scientists and police investigators. As a linguistic ethnographer, he focuses on the language used by Police Community Support Officers in their interactions with the public and is interested in the corporatization of local authorities and how findings from discourse analysis can inform these contexts. Currently, he is investigating judges' language ideologies in cases of alleged language discrimination.
