Dr Naomi Wells

Naomi is Senior Lecturer in Modern Language and Digital Humanities and Co-Director of the Doctoral Centre at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. Her current research focuses on the internet and social media, particularly in relation to online multilingualism, and contemporary and archived web content produced by and for migrant communities. Naomi’s research draws on a range of methods and approaches such as digital discourse analysis and digital ethnography, and sits at the intersection of fields including digital humanities, applied and sociolinguistics, and translation and cultural studies. While her primary focus and expertise is in relation to Spanish- and Italian-speaking communities and contexts, I has a broader interest in cross-languages digital research and is joint editor of the Digital Modern Languages section of Modern Languages Open.
