This is an interesting-sounding research topic, but it's genuinely puzzling that the researchers are restricting the opening to people with linguistics degrees, when they are very specifically looking at the visual aspects of emoji characters in documents. They're going to miss out on the perspective of people who understand type as a result of that.
It's always kind of an uphill battle, with most other disciplines unintentionally missing that type and typography are, in fact, real subjects.

This is doubly ironic since one of my PhD colleagues at Reading did his thesis on the semantic impacts of visual stylistic differences in emoji.
