Their article “From victims to survivors: The discourse of trauma in self-narratives of sexual violence in Cosmopolitan UK online” combines Critical Discourse Analysis and trauma theory which the editor of the journal has labelled "a methodological innovation”.

The data were downloaded from Cosmopolitan UK online during the time period of November 18, 2016 to February 18, 2017. Thus, the data collection preceded the #metoo movement, focusing on similar narratives, with some six months.
Both authors are listed with Hanken’s research institute GODESS.
