Biography
Nadira Talib holds a PhD from The University of Queensland, Australia. She focuses on developing a method of synthesising philosophical deliberations with discourse analysis in analysing social policy. In questioning the systems that separate and divide human beings one from another, her work centres on examining how adhering to the perceived demands of surrealistic political economies is imbricated within the relations of morality and ethics. Her publications are featured in ScienceDaily and in an editorial review of 'The Top 100 Cited Discourse Studies' in the subject area of ‘linguistics and language’, in the years 2015–2019.
