Philip Seargeant is a writer, researcher & educational filmmaker specialising in the study of language & communication. His current work focuses on the relationships between language, politics & social media, while earlier work looked at the emergence and status of English as a global language. 

His latest book, to be published is the The Art of Political Storytelling (Bloomsbury). This examines the way that stories shape our political lives – and how politicians exploit the power of narrative to engage and persuade the electorate.
