TRUSTEDD aims and research questions
OVERALL AIM
To study how discursive resources build trust in the digital dissemination of specialised knowledge in English across platforms, STEAM fields, and texts by experts and mediators
General aims
Our main objectives are:
- To conceptualise trust in digital dissemination of specialised knowledge at the discursive level.
- To identify and interpret the discursive mechanisms (linguistic, pragmatic, and multimodal) that knowledge brokers (experts and mediators) use to build trust in English.
- To compare how these mechanisms are used in English across a diversity of practices and knowledge brokers.
- To design a knowledge-transfer plan with discursive tools and guidelines that raise awareness of digital trust and promote critical media literacy.
