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!

New deadline for applications: 31 July 2025
