Frazer Heritage

(he/they)

Frazer is a corpus linguist with a particular interest in the representation of gender and sexuality across different forms of digital media. His primary research interest examines how corpus linguistics can be used to study the representation of gender and sexuality in videogames. However, they also examine how members of the so-called ‘manosphere’ discuss gendered social actors and how gendered phenomena are represented in the press (such as 'chemsex').
