Conference

Activist use of the New Technologies of the Information and Communication (NTICs) is increasingly important for social movements and civil society.

In the context of growing professional and academic mobility, in parallel with the trend towards the internationalization of Higher Education and emerging new channels for academic and research communication, education and research in the field of languages for professional and academic purposes have acquired new roles.

In marking the 10th anniversary gathering, the 2018 workshop is being organized under the theme of X-SCAPES as a deliberately and pointedly non-thematic theme. We thereby invite participants (old and new) to reconsider and re-imagine the field’s methodologies and intellectual priorities for the next ten years.

X = the number ten
X = numeric and alphabetic
X = semiotic and embodied
X = ancient and futuristic
X = unknowable and mysterious
X marks the spot

General theme: Ideology, identity and interaction

We are pleased to announce that the third international conference Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines will take place 13-15 September 2010.

Organised by the *Media Discourse Group* at De Montfort University, this
one-day conference will examine the various ways in which security is
described in the media, with particular reference to the stories
promoted by news organisations when they attempt to support or undermine
the various propositions made to the public about security and the
‘terror threat’.

Our keynote speakers are Professor Lilie Chouliaraki (London School of
Economics), Professor Mark Neocleous (Brunel University) and Dr Zahera
Harb (University of Nottingham).
