Judith Baxter, Emeritus Professor of Applied Linguistics at Aston University, sadly passed away as this book was going to print. She will be fondly remembered by students, colleagues and collaborators (including many of this books contributors) as an inspiring scholar whose work enriched the fields of language, gender, leadership and discourse analysis. Judith played a key role in developing the discourse-analytical method of feminist poststructuralist discourse analysis (FPDA). She authored Positioning Gender in Discourse: A Feminist Methodology (2003); The Language of Female Leadership (2010); Double-Voicing at Work: Power, Gender and Linguistic Expertise (2014); and with Haleema Al Aali, Speaking as Women Leaders: Meetings in Middle Eastern and Western Contexts (2016) and Women Leaders and Gender Stereotyping in the UK Press (2018).

Jeff Bezemer is Reader in Learning and Communication and Co-Director of the Centre for Multimodal Research at UCL Institute of Education. He is interested in meaning making, communication and learning; and in exploring how video-based ethnography and micro-analysis can contribute to our understanding of social interaction situated in complex work environments. His current research is focused on clinical education, health services delivery, patient safety and improvement initiatives. This work also feeds into the development of new theories and methods for investigating multimodality, the body, and tools and technologies in teamwork and inter-professional communication. Recent book publications include Multimodality, Learning and Communication: A Social Semiotic Frame (with Gunther Kress) and Introducing Multimodality (with Carey Jewitt and Kay OHalloran).
