The DiscourseNet story

We started in 2007 as a multilingual network of early career researchers from a broad range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. Initially funded by the collaborative project "Methodologies and methods in discourse analysis" (2007-2011), it gave birth to a Handbook and Dictionary of Discourse Studies, which are the largest ones of their kind.

The regular network meetings had grown into international events by the mid 2010s. DiscourseNet has since been organising two to four events every year, including biannual international DN Congresses, thematically focused DN Conferences, DN Group Events (seminars and reading groups), DN Graduate Schools and Collaborative DN events with other groups or associations (see list below).

Piloted by Johannes Angermuller, DiscourseNet was constituted as a formal association on 12th of September 2019 together with 180 founding members. Johannes Angermuller (Open University, UK) was elected as President, Luciana Radut-Gaghi (Paris Seine, France) as Treasurer and Jaspal Singh (Hong Kong) as Secretary. On the 20th of October 2021, Benno Herzog (Valencia, Spain) was elected as President, Aurora Fragonara (Amiens, France) as Secretary and Michael Kranert (Southampton, UK) as Treasurer. In 2023 these three legal representatives were confirmed for a second term.

We always remain on the look-out for interesting collaborations! If you want to organise an event together with or under the banner of DiscourseNet, please contact Thomas Jacobs or the DiscourseNet Events Group to discuss the possibilities.
