Dr Lorella Viola is a Research Associate in Historical Linguistics & Digital Humanities at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) at the University of Luxembourg. Her research focusses on how language use reveals latent assumptions and circulates implicit ideologies in media and society and how migrants are depicted in the media. She is also interested in ethnic media and in questions of language and identity.
