Training

Are you thinking of doing a PhD in a field related to Discourse Studies? If you want to turn your interest in discourse into a professional academic career but do not yet know what to expect, how to write a project proposal or who to contact, this webinar is a good place to start. Members of DiscourseNet will share their experience and give you a first orientation about how to get your project going. If you haven't started a PhD yet, you may join and ask any questions you might have. The webinar will take place on the 20th of December 2024 4-5pm GMT (UK time).

The sixth online edition of this course lasts from 19 until 30 August 2024. Between 2014 and 2019, I organized seven on-campus editions of this course in Maastricht. PhD candidates normally dominate the course participants, but students and professionals also benefited from past editions.
