She holds a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Sydney. She was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Research Fellow, co-hosted by the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, Central European University, Austria and the Peace and War Center, Norwich University, USA (2020-2023), and held a post-doctoral researcher position at the Research Collegium for Language in Changing Society (RECLAS), University of Jyväskylä, Finland (2019-2020). From 2013-2019 Dr Szenes was based at the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) and Registrar Portfolio, The University of Sydney. She has taught in several different countries and contexts; she was a visiting scholar at the University of British Columbia, Canada, and the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) in The Hague, Netherlands. Her MSCA research project, funded by the European Commission’s Horizon2020 Framework, was focusing on the role of language and multimodal resources in emerging complex and interrelated societal threats, for example, disinformation, information warfare and the links between climate change and (violent) extremism. Currently, she is working on projects focusing on the 'Andrew Tate phenomenon' in Australian schools as well as digital citizenship education in the age of information disorder. She is especially interested in preventing and countering the effect of disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining democracies from the perspective of computer-mediated communication and critical digital and media literacies.
