About the event

In-person workshop

For PhD students &

early career researchers

15 & 16 January 2026

Sheffield, UK

 

Learn how to apply key CDA theories, concepts and methods to your research project. Sessions on key ideas in CDA and how to apply them to your work - whether your research is primarily a discourse analytical one, or discourse analysis is a supplementary to your project. Group discussion and advice tailored to your research project. Hands-on analysis of texts and data.

 

The academic experts for the workshop are:

Professor Tom Bartlett, University of Glasgow

Dr Michael Farrelly, Discourse Academy

Dr Michael Kranert, University of Southampton

Dr Jane Mulderrig, University of Sheffield

 

Our approach is to focus on your research project. The academic experts will introduce key ideas and work with you on applying them in your work.

  • Build your network of peers who are also using CDA in their research

  • Extend your network of established experts in CDA

  • Work through your methods bring CDA to bear on a complex, discipline spanning research project

  • Present and get feedback on your work (if you are at a stage where you are ready to do so)

 

You will also be able to join the online discussion group for this event.

The online discussion group will:

  • Give you the opportunity to introduce your research project in advance of the workshop;
