Researching and Applying Metaphor Association retweeted
At #RaAM17 @RaAMmetaphor, I was pleased to present, on behalf of our team, one study from the @4dPicture project, on “Metaphors, identities, and gender in online interactions about cancer”. It was my first in-person RaAM, and I loved every bit of it.
