Peter Browning

University College London

eter is a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics at UCL’s Institute of Education. His research is motivated by an interest in exploring the complex relationships between discourse, culture and society; critical questions around language, place, future-making, gender and sexuality are central to his thinking.   In his previous research, on the municipality of Rionegro, Antioquia, Peter explored how the teaching and learning of English was emmeshed with processes of “placemaking" and the conformation of the municipality as a new urban centre in the so-called “posconflicto”.   He is currently a co-researcher (with Dr Adriana Patiño-Santos, University of Southampton) on the project Making Spaces for Memory: Listening to Latin Americans in London which has seen him engaging with Latin American families in London especially in relation to their experiences of exile and their practices of remembering. Alongside this, Peter is also using a sociolinguistic approach to explore the specific lived-experience of LGBTQI+ identifying Latin Americans living in the diaspora.
