Call for Papers:
Critical discourse analysts and theorists are not the only people involved in the articulation of critique in the public realm. Political debates typically consist of layers of meta-discourse. They are fundamentally discourse about discourse and could not exist without the reflexive features of articulatory practice. Many researchers in critical discourse studies focus on social and political debates related to issues such as class, migration, ecology, globalization, or economic crisis.
The Conference
Interpretive policy analysis engenders and embraces research which extends across the social sciences and is applied to a vast range of policy topics. The common intrest of interpretive approaches to policy analysis is the recognition of the importance of discourse, meaning making, interpretation and the performance of social practices both in devising and in enacting policy.

Call summary: Languaging Diversity 4 Discourse and Diversity in the Global City (28-30 Sept 2018) Discourses in/of/about the city vibrantly conceptualize, narrate and imagine the past, present and future of a city and its citizens. The city's status, character, spirit and image are constantly imagined, reproduced and framed in private and public communication. In urban discourse languages, identities and subcultures meet, as old and new inhabitants interact with temporary visitors and guests.
