In Bravo et el (2008) Jamie Oliver is a 'celebrity chef', familiar to British viewers of lifestyle television. Jamie's school dinners, however, is something rather different. While it has lifestyle elements, it is a combination of docu-soap, celebrity biopic and makeover show. More than that, it is a kind of mediatised political activism: part of a campaign to improve the quality of food in British schools and, even more ambitiously, impose constraints on the junk food industry and improve British eating habits. The series is of particular interest to me for its representations of patterns of interaction, social identities and relationships. Here I focus on a tension between two conflicting objectives: the maintenance of the celebrity's persona of likeable 'ordinariness' and the unfolding drama of epic transformation. At the centre of both are the dinner ladies, who are both his instruments and his greatest hurdle.

This substantial book is an edited collection of recent research in the field of language and gender, predominantly but not exclusively focused on language use in the United States. The research represented in its 20 chapters is wide-ranging, both in terms of the genres and media explored in them and in terms of analytic approaches. The genres, media, and locations investigated include, among others, American shopping channel talk (Mary Bucholtz), self-revelatory on-line journals (Laurel Sutton), office interaction (Deborah Tannen), Latina hopscotch in Los Angeles (Marjorie Goodwin), Irish-language community radio (Colleen Cotter), British teenage girls' conversations (Jennifer Coates), and a Tunisian sociolinguistic interview (Keith Walters).

(2014) The Handbook of Language, Gender and Sexuality (2nd edition) Blackwell pp604-624 Abstract: This chapter presents a sample of explorations of language and gender both in and through popular cultural forms. The sample covers magazines and their offers of friendship and community, gendered style and professional identity in broadcasting and audience engagement with television talk. Gender stereotypes, sexist attitudes and oppressive patterns of behaviour circulate abundantly in popular culture, but popular media can also be used to engage with these things critically. The final section presents some non-academic work which does just that: cartoons and comics.
