Paola Monachesi has been assistant professor at Utrecht University for more than 20 years. Interest in language has always been central in her research: from the study of pronouns and complex predicates in Romance languages, to the application of language technology in e-learning, to a language analysis of social media data. She has published three books, edited several volumes and written more than one hundred papers on these topics. She has been project leader and principal investigator of several European and NWO projects, acquiring external grants for 12 million euros.
The series of audio papers: Mediating sustainable cities, summarizes her most recent research which takes a communication and new media approach to sustainable urban development with focus on the relation between language and space (both physical and digital).
