Katia Adimora

Katia's main research interest lies in contemporary Mexican immigration to the US. For her PhD project she has created corpora of the US and Mexican newspapers to conduct Corpus Assisted Discourse Analysis that enables her to identify the differences/similarities in how both presses depict immigration from Mexico to the US during Donald Trump's era. The concrete examples are interpreted in comparison to the current situation of immigration during Joe Biden's presidency.
More broadly, Katia is also interested in the socio-political situation of Latinos in the US.
She is the founder of the Research Group in Spanish and Latin American Studies at Edge Hill University. She is an experienced Spanish language teacher at UK universities.
