Nadia Haq, PhD
Nadia Haq is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow based at the School of Journalism, Media & Culture at Cardiff University (Wales). Her upcoming book ‘Journalism and the Muslim Narrative: Power, Resistance and Change’ examines the reproduction of negative Muslim representations in British newspapers and how spaces for challenging these representations can be made possible through journalism practices. Her present multi-method, interdisciplinary research investigates how British media audiences can challenge the mainstream media for discriminatory and divisive coverage against marginalised, minority communities.
Nadia’s research interests meet at the intersection between sociology and media studies, including journalism and audience studies, race, ethnicity and religion, social movements, ideology, political and social contestation. Before joining academia, she worked as an international business journalist based in the Middle East for nearly a decade and has held senior positions in the fields of political communications and equality policy.
