DiscourseNet was founded as the International Association for Discourse Studies in Paris in September 2019, with three Representatives (President, Secretary, Treasurer). Elections are held every two years. The current Representatives were elected in October 2021 with Benno Herzog as President, Aurora Fragonara as Secretary, and Michael Kranert as Treasurer. In 2023, after two years, their first term is coming to an end.
All DiscourseNet Association members are invited to participate in the upcoming DiscourseNet (Association) elections:
- First, you may propose a team of Representatives that will stand for the election. Your candidate team should comprise three candidates: One each for President, Treasurer and Secretary.
- Second, you can express interest in joining the future DiscourseNet Board, which will be appointed by the elected Representatives. The Board also has a term of two years. Previous Board members may, of course, continue in the Board. If you are interested, please contact the running candidate teams directly.
- Third, all members are encouraged to check their emails in October for further information on how to vote. The elections will be held online. Further information will follow by email to all DiscourseNet members.
All candidate teams of Representatives should email me (Felicitas Macgilchrist, by email to elections@discourseanalysis.net), stating their intention to run for office, and including information about the team that they wish to share with voting members. If you would like the information to be shared with participants before the DNC5ALED conference in Valencia from 25-28 July, please email me by 15 July 2023. I am coordinating the election, and will post all candidate teams on the DN election pages.
The final deadline for all candidate teams to submit their intention to run for President, Treasurer and Secretary is 14 August 2023.
The 2023 General Assembly will be held online in October. The current Board will report on their past term and all candidate teams will be presented. A recording of the key information will be made available online. Voting will start during the General Assembly and run (online) for one week.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any ideas, questions or suggestions you may have about the process or if you wish to run as a candidate team.
We look forward to your participation!
