This one-day advanced PhD methodology course (May 14, 2-6pm) aims to stimulate collegial
discussion between faculty and students in Warwick Business School, the
Centre of Applied Linguistics and the broader University.
PhD student participants will be able to present their research informally
and to flesh out their ideas with other discourse theorists. If you are
interested in building a stronger internal and inter-disciplinary network of
colleagues around an interest in discourse analysis, and/or discuss your
data or paper abstract with experts of the field, then this is an event for
you.
For the workshop, PhD student participants (in subjects such as, applied
linguistics, social, political and organizational theory) are encouraged to
circulate a three-page outline of their research beforehand so that all those
attending have a chance to be familiar with the work in advance of the
discussions.
Workshop presenters:
Jason Glynos, University of Essex, Department of Government
Johannes Angermuller, University of Warwick, Center of Applied Linguistics
Alessia Contu, University of Warwick, Warwick Business School
