An extensive interview with Professor Catherine Boyle features in the 500th issue of Research Fortnight magazine

Professor Boyle discusses her research background and the genesis of her Language Acts and Worldmaking project, which was recently awarded almost £3 million by the Arts & Humanities Research Council.

What was the thinking behind your proposal?

The simple premise that humans create the world through the languages we speak. We are taking language as a historical and material force in the world, people create their different selves through it, on national, local, and spiritual levels.
