Daniel Patrick Strogen

Daniel is an ESRC-funded doctoral researcher and Senior Teaching Assistant in Applied Linguistics at Swansea University.

His research interests include language policy and planning, language attitudes, and psycholinguistics, and he draws on both qualitative and quantitative methods in his work. Alongside his doctoral research, Daniel has worked as a research assistant on a number of projects. He holds degrees in English Language and Social Research Methods, alongside a Postgraduate Certificate in Primary Education and a CELTA qualification. Alongside his academic work, he is a short fiction writer. His work has been published by Parthian Books, and his debut short story was shortlisted for the 2022 Rhys Davies Short Story Award.
