Sergio Maruenda-Bataller (PhD) is Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Valencia, where he teaches English language and linguistics. He is also a member of the GenText research group, which has promoted research on discourse, gender and power.

He has co-authored articles on naming practices and negotiation of meaning in journalistic discourse and on the linguistic representation of violence against women in contemporary Spanish and British newspapers, as well as book chapters on the role of news values in the discursive construction of violence against women in the press.
His most recent work, which offers a feminist critical discursive approach to journalistic reporting on violence against women, will appear in the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Discourse and Disinformation.
