The Centre for Applied Linguistics at the University of Warwick is pleased to announce its 17th Postgraduate Conference on Tuesday, 24th and Wednesday, 25th June 2014. The postgraduate conference covers a wide range of topics including language teaching, intercultural communication, and academic or political discourse. The aim of the conference is to provide postgraduate students with the opportunity to present their research, to attend experts’ keynote presentations, to meet peers who engage in similar research activities and to get valuable feedback on their research.

Political discourse has long been the domain of critical linguists on the one hand, and political scientists on the other. Critical linguists understand political discourse primarily as language in the context of politics, while political science understands political discourses as ‘big D’ discourse (Gee 2005), as systems of knowledge and ideology.

The 17th DN conference on reflexivity and critique offers a venue for exploring the different ways in which reflexivity and critique can be deployed in order to shape (our understandings of) selves, discourses and societies in meaningful ways. To this end, this conference hopes to bring together researchers interested in (a) the role of reflexivity and critique in the study of discourse and/or in (b) the role of reflexivity and critique play in the social realities we investigate. Prof. Jan Blommaert, Prof. Johannes Angermüller, Prof. Marianne Winther-Jörgensen and Prof.

Connecting the Dots in a Glocalized World 2016 will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas in the four main disciplines of language, linguistics, literature and translation. As the title for the conference suggests, the aim is to focus on the relationship between global themes and local practices, highlighting the under-examined interactions that occur as globalization takes on negotiated forms in different contexts.
