By undergraduates, for undergraduates, the Journal of the Undergraduate Linguistics Association of Britain (JoULAB) is the world’s only journal publishing solely undergraduate research in all areas of linguistics.

We are very happy to announce the publication of our second Early Access paper: *Positioning Theory as a Tool for Analysing Working Class Identities: Angela Rayner in Interview* by Georgia Juckes (University of Birmingham). This paper investigates how individuals construct their identities through narrative. Juckes concentrates on a single speaker, Labour’s Angela Rayner, to illustrate how the speaker establishes a working class identity via discourse, using positioning theory to tease out the different levels involved in those narratives and their relationships to one another.

The paper was released on 15 September on our website, https://ulab.org.uk/journal/issues.
