As in previous years, we invite students (Bachelor’s and Master’s) as well as

fields to apply for this international interdisciplinary program. All sessions
will be conducted in English.

The FLsc is taught by Dr Isabel Picornell and Dr Krzysztof Kredens and will
take place on 5 - 7 September 2023. This year’s programme focuses on:
- Disputed meanings (indeterminacy in language; threads, malicious
communications and defamation)
- Authorship analysis (profiling; theoretical foundations; casework examples
and methods; faked contexts; native language identification; suicide notes)
- Guided case study (analysis and presentation of findings)

Our lecturers are well-known members of the Forensic Linguistics community:
- Dr Isabel Picornell is a Consultant Forensic Linguist and Director of
QEDforensics, providing forensic linguistic services to the corporate,
investigative, and intelligence industry. She is the President of the
International Association for Forensic and Legal Linguists, a member of the
Germanic Society for Forensic Linguistics, and a certified fraud examiner
(ACFE).
- Dr Krzysztof Kredens is a Senior Lecturer in Forensic Linguistics at Aston
University. He is Director of the Centre for Forensic Text Analysis at the
University’s Institute for Forensic Linguistics and Programme Director on the
MA Forensic Linguistics. He has ample casework experience, both as an expert
witness and in policing contexts. He has worked on over 100 cases involving
questions of authorship, disputed meanings and language proficiency
assessment, and provided investigative support and expert reports for law
enforcement agencies and courts in Australia, England, Norway and Poland. He
has been cross-examined in the Central Criminal Court in London (‘The Old
