Thirty people from across Europe enjoyed the second seminar hosted by NOVA-Lancaster Seminar Series. The seminar focussed on Digital Transformations and Global Health as a theme. Attendees enjoyed presentations from Professor Rute Costa (NOVA, FCSH) and Professor Elena Semino (Lancaster, CASS).

Both talks demonstrated the contribution that linguistic research can make to global health via large-scale studies of online health communication, particularly in relation to the experience of cancer and attitudes towards vaccinations. A recording of the event can be watched here.
