Maria Grazia Rossi (PhD in Cognitive Science, 2012) is an assistant researcher at the NOVA Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA) and assistant professor at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, NOVA University of Lisbon. Her current research project is based on a co-creative research design and aims to analyse framing strategies in the context of a broader community-centred approach to healthcare discourse. Such an approach helps to explore the interconnection between patient-provider interactions and public health discourse. She is specifically interested in understanding how frames are used to express doubt and how healthcare providers and experts manage doubt. She analyses framing strategies (e.g., metaphors, emotive words, etc.) as argumentative tools fostering shared understanding and decision-making in healthcare communication. She promotes multidisciplinary through a cross-thematic approach integrating expertise from argumentation, philosophy and theory of language, pragmatics, communication, cognitive science, psychology, and corpus linguistics.
