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 19th of September 2023 4-5pm BST (UK time). Please note that you cannot join the discussion if you are already starting a PhD. This webinar is only for students who have NOT yet found a PhD supervisor.
In order to participate, you will need to join the PhD in Discourse Studies Group https://discourseanalysis.net/DiscoursePhD. To join the group you will need to be logged into your discourseanalysis.net account (you may create one for free on the top right, which may take a two days) and then click 'Join Group' on the top left-hand side. You will then receive seminar announcements via email.
Registered group members will get a videoconferencing link on the day before. You may send an email with your background, interests and questions to the organisers prior to the event.
