The Fall CDA Course offers a practical introduction to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). While the course covers key theoretical assumptions and concepts, our focus will be on how to do critical discourse analysis. Specifically, students will be introduced to different approaches to critical discourse analysis and how these approaches may be applied and combined. The course centers on three forms of discourse that are key in solidifying and defying power relations: media discourse, political-institutional discourse, and social movement discourse.
We’re extending the application deadline for the Prague PhD Course on Discourse Studies and Method: Using Discourse-Theoretical Analysis and Discursive-Material Analysis. Limited spots still available!

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.
