Call for Papers DN33 - Discourse, Sustainability, and Education: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Climate and Communication

26-27 March 2026, University of International Studies (UNINT) in Rome, Italy

In recent decades, the discourse surrounding sustainability and climate change has become central to global public debates, policy-making, activism, education, and everyday life. Discourses on the environment frame not only what is perceived as the climate crisis but also what solutions, responsibilities, and futures are imaginable or excluded (Hajer, 1995; Dryzek, 2013; Stibbe, 2021). This framing takes shape through media narratives, political communication, and institutional discourses that both reflect and influence public engagement (Carvalho & Burgess, 2005; Boykoff, 2008; Cox & Pezzullo, 2019; Moser, 2010).

Education has also emerged as a key arena for cultivating sustainable mindsets and practices, where language, texts, and multimodal communication play crucial roles in influencing knowledge, instilling values, and guiding actions at all levels—from higher education curricula to narrative design in climate change education (UNESCO, 2020, 2021; Sonetti, 2020; Deriu, 2024; D’Orto, 2025). At the same time, discourse-oriented research has shown how pedagogical strategies, framing devices, and communicative practices affect learners’ agency, identity, and capacity for transformative change (Sterling, 2011; Russo & Bevitori, 2023, 2024).

This conference invites scholars to critically examine how sustainability and climate issues are communicated, contested, and enacted through discourse in diverse social, institutional, and technological contexts. We seek to explore how discourse contributes to constructing environmental problems, mobilising collective action, and framing pedagogical approaches to sustainability education. Contributions that interrogate how discursive practices may reinforce inequities, marginalise certain voices, or limit transformative change (Fairclough, 2015; Whyte, 2017; Wodak, 2021; Sultana, 2022) are also welcome.

We invite papers from across the full spectrum of discourse studies—including but not limited to critical, multimodal, narrative, ethnographic, interactional, corpus-based, and practice-oriented approaches—and encourage interdisciplinary perspectives drawing from linguistics, education, media and communication studies, sociology, environmental humanities, and political science (van Dijk, 2008; Charteris-Black, 2018; Kress & van Leeuwen, 2021).

Possible topics and questions include (but are not limited to):

How are climate change and sustainability represented in media, policy, and public discourse?
What discursive strategies seem to encourage or hinder sustainable behaviour and collective action?
How do the ways we talk and write about climate issues in educational settings influence learners’ attitudes, knowledge, and sense of agency?
How are ideas of climate responsibility and justice constructed across institutional, corporate, and activist discourses?
What part do digital media, AI-generated content, and algorithmic systems play in shaping environmental narratives?
How can discourse analysis contribute to interdisciplinary dialogue and inspire meaningful action for sustainability?

We hope the conference will foster theoretical, methodological, and ethical reflection on how discourse studies can contribute to more sustainable, inclusive futures.

Topics and Panels
We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations (followed by 10 minutes of discussion) that align with the conference theme and fit into one of the broad panels. Proposals on related topics are also welcome.

OBJECTIVE

This congress aims at bringing together research and reflections that critically analyze discourses that emerge, circulate, and transform in contexts of global crises. Through interdisciplinary approaches, it seeks to explore how different voices—whether institutional, media, academic, artistic, or community-based—shape meanings, construct realities, and dispute narratives about the challenges faced by contemporary societies. The event proposes a space to make diverse perspectives visible, including those traditionally silenced, in order to understand the discursive dynamics that accompany processes of conflict, resistance, exclusion, or social transformation in a world marked by uncertainty and change.

Call for Contributions

Following the inaugural Human-AI Interaction Symposium in 2025, we are pleased to announce that the Interdisciplinary Human-AI Interaction Conference 2026 will take place during 9:30am-5pm on 27 November 2026 (GMT) at the University of Warwick. The conference is generously funded by Warwick’s Interdisciplinary Research Spotlights (Digital, Data Science & AI).

This year’s conference will explore the theme: Relationality and Reflexivity in Human-AI Interaction. Artificial intelligence (AI) is now being used more and more in everyday life, which affects the ways in which people work, learn, communicate, create, make decisions and understand the world surrounding them. This has led to more complicated kinds of interaction between humans and AI and has raised questions concerning the wider institutional and social implications of these technologies. Since AI systems have become more capable and have been incorporated into human activities, research into human-AI interaction has increasingly shifted away from seeing AI mainly as a passive technological tool to now focusing on more interactive, participatory and relational types of human-AI engagement.

This also means that as there are now sustained and emotionally significant ways in which humans interact with AI, questions arise as to whether and in what way concepts previously used to describe human-human relationships, such as attachment, intimacy, and reciprocity, can be applied and redefined in order to understand interactions and relationships between humans and AI. Given these recent developments, we are inviting submissions that examine human-AI interaction as a dynamic process which is situated within wider social, institutional, cultural, and material contexts, with a special emphasis on relational and reflexive perspectives.

By taking a relational approach, one highlights the ways in which AI becomes part of and contributes to the broader relationships that involve individuals, communities, organisations, institutions, and technologies. A reflexive approach, on the other hand, underscores the mutual processes by which humans and AI systems influence, respond to, and alter one another over time as a result of their interaction. Seeing human-AI interaction from these two interwoven perspectives invites attention to the temporal and evolving nature of human-AI relationships, including how they develop, are maintained, negotiated, disrupted, or transformed over time.

Bringing relationality and reflexivity together, this conference asks what we can learn from understanding human-AI interaction as an ongoing process of relational formation and transformation, rather than simply in terms of human design, use, or assessment of technology. We welcome contributions that look into how human-AI relationships emerge, evolve, are negotiated, resisted, maintained or transformed in educational, professional, organisational, social, creative, and everyday contexts. We also encourage contributions that explore how human-AI relationships intersect with human relationships and sociotechnical contexts, and that critically consider both the possibilities and limits of reciprocity, agency, and relationality in human-AI interaction.

Potential themes for contributions

Contributions drawing on discourse and interactional data are particularly welcome. Possible areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

the temporal and evolving nature of human-AI relationships;
trust, authority, agency, power, equity, responsibility, and the negotiation of expertise in human-AI interaction;
resistance, appropriation, adaptation, and repair as processes through which human-AI relationships are shaped and transformed;
collaboration, dependency, care, attachment, intimacy, and affective relations with AI;
asymmetry, reciprocity, mutuality, and the reconceptualisation of human relational concepts in human-AI interaction;
how interaction with AI may reshape human practices, identities, relationships, and forms of knowing;
how human practices, values, norms, and institutional contexts shape AI development, deployment, and use;
how AI may reshape relationships between humans, communities, organisations, and institutions;
how sustained interaction with AI may reshape users’ preferences, expectations, practices, and ways of relating to others;
methodological approaches for examining the formation and transformation of human-AI relationships and the reciprocal processes through which humans and AI may influence one another through interaction;

We welcome theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions from diverse disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, including education, linguistics, discourse studies, sociology, humanities, communication, human-computer interaction, psychology, and related fields. Researchers at all career stages are warmly invited to contribute, with postgraduate and early-career researchers especially encouraged to participate.

The conference will feature:

Keynote speeches and panel discussions from leading interdisciplinary scholars
Opportunities for networking and collaboration across disciplines
Hybrid access to support global participation

Submission of abstract

We invite contributions for 10-minute talks at this conference. Speakers are encouraged to share work at any stage of development, including ongoing projects, as the aim of the conference is to foster dynamic discussions and collaboration.

Panel Title: Artificial Others: Bridges or Barriers? Discursive Perspectives on Robots in Polarised Societies

20th International Pragmatics Conference, University of Helsinki, Finland

Conference dates: 27 June-2 July 2027

Abstract submission by 15 September 2026 to: artificialothers@proton.me

Panel organisers: Emma Lupano, Bettina Mottura, Natalia Riva

*****************

Bridges are not built only between people. They are also imagined through the figures, technologies, and social actors that societies create to negotiate difference. Among these figures, humanoid robots and biomimetic agents occupy a revealing position: they are simultaneously technological artefacts, cultural objects, and discursive constructions.

In a period marked by growing social and political polarisation, public discourse increasingly presents artificial agents as potential mediators, companions, assistants, or, conversely, as threats and sources of disruption. This panel examines discourse about robots rather than human–robot interaction itself, while recognising the close relationship between representations of artificial agents and the forms of interaction they make possible.

The panel explores how linguistic and multimodal resources contribute to the construction of robots as social actors and how these constructions shape understandings of otherness, agency, and social cohesion. We are particularly interested in the metaphors, narratives, evaluative practices, and stance-taking strategies through which humanoid and biomimetic robots are represented in different social, political, cultural, and linguistic contexts. While the panel is not inherently contrastive, it encourages contributions that can help shed light on local, national or international discursive trends on the subject.

Possible topics of research include (but are not limited to):

> the institutional, corporate, and policy discourses that formulate promises, expectations, or warnings concerning robots in social domains;

> the ethical debates surrounding the deployment of robots in contexts such as education, healthcare, social management, justice, political dialogue, and military activities;

> the discursive representations of biomimetic robots and the ways they blur or reinforce categorical boundaries between humans, animals, plants, and machines.

We welcome established as well as innovative analytical approaches including metaphor analysis, critical discourse studies, conversation analysis, corpus pragmatics, historical pragmatics, and related frameworks, in order to shed light on:

> narratives that portray robots as agents of conflict resolution, reconciliation, or social integration, as well as discourses that challenge or resist such visions;

> metaphors and figurative framings of robots as bridges, mediators, servants, threats, or mirrors of the human, and their variation across languages and cultures;

> epistemic markers, evaluative language, and other pragmatic resources that contribute to attribution or denial of intentionality, emotions, and agency;

> discursive strategies such as humour and irony that either humanise or delegitimise artificial agents.

By bringing together pragmatics, discourse analysis, human–robot interaction, and science and technology studies, the panel aims to advance understanding of how discourse about artificial beings may contribute to either reinforcing or reconfiguring contemporary social divides.

Please send a short bio of max. 150 words and an abstract of min. 250-max. 500 words with 5 key bibliographical sources to artificialothers@proton.me.

Abstract submission deadline: 15 September 2026.

Acceptance notifications will be sent out by the end of September 2026.

The panel is part of the 20th International Pragmatics Conference to be held at the University of Helsinki, Finland, from 27 June to 2 July 2027. For further information, please check the Conference link: https://pragmatics.international/page/IPC20

Please note that the conference will be held only in person. Travel and accommodation expenses are to be covered by the participants.

Panel description:

In recent years, a large volume of critical scholarship has grappled with the media-enabled normalization of authoritarian discourses and far-right political agendas within liberal democracies. The panel contributes to this body of work by examining political actors’ communication strategies and the broad discursive mechanisms at work in different forms of contemporary media, including mainstream news media, alternative and alt-right outlets, social media, and online news platforms. It thus sheds new light on how authoritarianism and far-right politics are articulated, reproduced, and authorized, by scrutinizing authoritarian footings, emotional repertoires, and interactional practices building on exclusionary logics, antagonism, and polarisation, as they manifest in news production, and, also, in citizen engagement with news.

Invited panel contributions should focus on practices and strategies of authoritarian discourse in various sociocultural contexts, including Europe and the USA. Moreover, contributions should rely on systematic discourse analysis, employing qualitative and/or quantitative methods, and depart from or combine different theoretical-methodological traditions, such as discourse analysis, conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis, multimodal discourse analysis, automated text analysis, and language-centred framing theory.

Panel contributions will address, but are not necessarily limited to, the following topics:

Authoritarian populists’ linguistic, interactional, and multi-modal strategies seeking to control the narrative and mobilize support for their agenda in different socio-cultural and media settings, and in different media genres
Aspects of face-work, turn-taking, speech acts, and presupposition/implicature as interactional challenges to journalism’s watchdog role in encounters with authoritarian and populist actors
Linguistic and communication practices of mainstream media outlets and news journalists vis-à-vis the far-right
Discursive processes and multimodal practices enabling the normalization of authoritarian values, narratives, and agendas in media discourse
The social indexicality of authoritarian discourse and the mobilization of adversarial footings: aggravation (or mitigation) of emotions, moral evaluations, and calls for aggressive measures in online settings
Hybrid and pseudo-journalistic communication strategies through which political actors appropriate journalistic genres to bypass or delegitimize professional media
The construction of stance in multimodal recontextualizations of mainstream news in social media, and their role in amplifying exclusionary and authoritarian narratives
Journalism’s labelling, classification, and framing practices, and their role in normalizing or obscuring authoritarian politics

Please submit your abstract (up to 500 words) via the conference website (https://ipra2027.exordo.com/) by 15 October 2026. In step 4 (‘Topics’) of the submission process, select the panel ‘The normalization of authoritarianism across media: Interactional strategies, emotional repertoires, and adversarial footings in mainstream news, alternative media and social media'. Further information on submitting abstracts can be found in the IPC20 Call for Papers (https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP2027).

Poster

Positioned within contemporary struggles over public meaning, social affiliation and political legitimacy, digital religion is articulated through mediated practices in which claims about faith, community, authority and truth become resources for negotiating belonging, morality, identity and power.

Digital Religion V invites papers that examine these practices at the interfaces of discourse, society and politics, with a focus on digital religious discourse both as product and as practice: as a textual and multimodal form, and as situated action involving the production, distribution, and consumption of religious meanings across platforms, publics and institutional contexts.

The interfaces are approached as sites of contact and tension, with religious doctrine informing everyday moral judgement, ritual participation intersecting with activism, institutional authority being negotiated alongside influencer charisma, and private spirituality assuming sociopolitical significance. Central to these processes are conceptualization, representation, recontextualization and affect: religious meanings are made cognitively accessible, salient, and invested with the emotional force. Digital affordances, in turn, enable their circulation across genres, platforms and publics, attaching them to causes and conflicts and intensifying the interplay between religious expression, social affiliation and political positioning.

We invite papers addressing, but not limited to, the following questions and areas:

• How does digital religious discourse shape public debates, legitimise authority or mark the limits of belonging?

• How do social and political conflicts become legible through religion in platformed public communicative practice?

• Under what conditions do digital religious practices sustain care, solidarity, memory and participation, or produce antagonism, exclusion and radicalisation?

• What happens when politics borrows religious repertoires, when religious actors adopt platform tactics, and when platforms order religious visibility?

• How are institutional religion, lived religion, spirituality, atheism and anti-religious discourse brought into contact in digital environments?

• How are religious authority, expertise, authenticity, charisma and credibility established, challenged or displaced under conditions of platformed visibility?

• How do religious symbols, narratives, values and moral vocabularies enter nationalism, populism, conspiracy cultures, extremism and culture-war discourse?

• How do metaphors organise the affective and moral intelligibility of digital religious discourse, shaping how publics recognise threat, victimhood, duty, crisis, hope or belonging?

• How are religious identities politicised, and how are social or political conflicts religionised, across digital platforms?

• How do digital religious discourses construct publics, counter-publics, minorities, moral communities, dissent and exclusion?

• How are gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, migration, diaspora, class, generation and disability articulated through religious and anti-religious discourse online?

• How does digital religious communication respond to war, displacement, ecological crisis, violence, inequality, insecurity and social change?

• How does affect shape the public force of digital religion, from fear, hope and compassion to resentment, moral outrage, grief and collective grievance?

• How do digital affordances, algorithms, metrics, moderation, recommendation systems and visibility regimes condition religious discourse and participation?

We welcome theoretical, methodological and empirical papers from media and communication studies, discourse studies, religious studies, theology, sociology, anthropology, political science, linguistics, cultural studies, digital humanities and related fields. Contributions may focus on particular platforms, communities, traditions, controversies or media genres, as well as on comparative, transnational or historical perspectives.

Since 2013—with a break due to the pandemic—the conference “The Discursive Construction of Reality” has been held every two years at the University of Augsburg. It brings together interdisciplinary contributions to the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD) and related perspectives in discourse and dispositive research. The conference thus explicitly aims to foster interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary discussions and reflections on ongoing and completed research, as well as questions of theory, methodology, and methods. The upcoming conference will continue in the spirit of an interdisciplinary discussion about the foundations and applications of SKAD and SKAD-inspired discourse research, as well as related perspectives (such as subjectivation research, situational analysis, ethnography of discourses and dispositives). In this context, we also welcome contributions that address challenges posed by theories of affect, new materialisms, digital-algorithmic transformations of discourse, or authoritarian restrictions on discourse. In particular, we invite submissions on the relationship between discourse and materiality, discourse and violence, forms of discourse control (censorship), and the effects of digitalization on discursive processes.

The conference will be held in German and English. There will be no fees. Cold and hot drinks will be available on site for a small contribution.

For more information about the event and the submission process, please see the call for papers.

IV. International Symposium on Clothing Culture in Social Sciences btw. 21.–23.10.2026 at the Marmara University, Istanbul (Hybrid)

Planned as a continuation of the SOBİTÜRK Symposium, the SOBİTÜRK 2026 themed around Clothing Culture aims to examine the phenomenon of clothing from a multidisciplinary social sciences perspective. Among the primary objectives of the symposium are to investigate the transformations of clothing culture throughout cultural geography from past to present and to discuss the interaction between traditional clothing patterns and modern/global fashion understandings.

Within this context, our symposium aims to reveal the aesthetic values and symbolic meanings of clothing culture while also discussing how this cultural heritage can be preserved and adapted to contemporary life. With the contributions of scholars from various disciplines within the social sciences, clothing culture will be addressed from historical, sociological, anthropological, economic, geographical, artistic, and literary perspectives, thereby providing an interdisciplinary platform for understanding broader social transformations.

Abstracts should be submitted in accordance with the abstract submission form until 30 July 2026 to: sobiturk@marmara.edu.tr.

The languages of the papers include English, German, French, Turkish and other national languages of the Turkic Republics. Participation may take place either in person or online.

Submitted papers will be evaluated through a double-blind peer-review process in accordance with scientific ethical principles. Accepted full texts papers presented at the symposium and successfully passing the peer-review process will be published in international university journals and also in Marmara University Press.

Detailed information regarding the symposium can be accessed via the relevant web page: https://sobiturk-sempozyum.marmara.edu.tr/en

We would be delighted to welcome you to this scholarly gathering, which will be enriched by your valuable scientific contributions.

During DN35, we want to reflect on (neo)authoritarianism today, its role in public discourse, and its impact on contemporary politics. We want to map the discursive construction of the (neo)authoritarian appeal across the Global North and South, and the ways in which they can be counteracted. We welcome a wide range of methodologies and approaches to researching these issues, including critical political, psychological, and post-structuralist discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and rhetorical analysis.

Authoritarianism is a topic with a long history in the social sciences and humanities, with many important accounts throughout the 20th century by scholars such as Hannah Arendt, Theodor W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Zygmunt Bauman and many others. In recent years, the topic has again become an important part of scholarly reflection, given the growing presence of authoritarianism in contemporary societies. Even though contemporary scholarship can draw on 20th-century insights, the present day calls for new approaches, as authoritarianism itself is taking new forms and using new devices to win over citizens' hearts and minds.

Neo-authoritarianism is emerging as a hybrid form of power that merges the familiar concepts of coercion and control with new means such as digital surveillance, algorithmic manipulation, and other sophisticated tools. We aim to broaden this inquiry by considering not only the technological forms of neo-authoritarian appeal, but also the micro‑level personal authoritarian dispositions, the metadiscursive framing of authoritarianism as a social problem, and the material and social infrastructures that shape the production and circulation of authoritarian narratives. Specifically, we are interested in the discursive constructions that make authoritarian appeals attractive and the linguistic resources that are recruited to promote non-democratic solutions.

For example, in times of uncertainty, when societies seek axiological and ontological stability, the radicals, extremists, and (neo)authoritarians promise stability by returning to more traditional forms of social order and rescuing the “stolen pride”. They persuade the audience through various rhetorical and eristic strategies, referring to emotions of fear, anger, shame, and resentment, or by weaponizing cultural wars, anti-gender narratives, and dreams of nativism in the public discourse. In turn, these appeals are amplified by communicative infrastructure (e.g., social media and artificial intelligence), making these problems global rather than confined to the nation-state.

By contrast, democratic movements, progressive politicians, NGOs, journalists, and activists discursively counter these narratives and discourses, but these counter-strategies. Despite being in demand, such discourses may sometimes mirror the very populism they aim to counter. By creating the opposition of “us – good democrats” and “them – bad autocrats,” they risk fueling moral panics, deepening affective polarization, and paradoxically limiting the space for deliberation and effective articulation of conflicting interests. So, how to counter (neo)authoritarianism without using authoritarian methods?

We are interested in topics that fit (but are not limited to) the following scope:

Authoritarian discourses, authoritarianism in discourse and discourses on authoritarianism;
Authoritarianism of the self; elevating oneself and one’s own opinion to the superior authority, neglecting social conditions of truth production;
Political varieties of authoritarian appeal – from far-right to libertarian stances;
Linguistic patterns and discursive strategies in authoritarian discourses;
Rhetoric of fear, and moral panics in authoritarian discourses and in the backlash against them;
Populist communication styles in creating and countering authoritarian appeals;
The role of emotions, fear, shame, grievance, and ‘stolen pride’ in political narratives;
Advantages and disadvantages of polarization/deliberation in the context of authoritarianism;
Resilience and countering authoritarian discourses (civic education, cultural resistance, satire, etc.);
The role of discourse researchers, how do they talk about authoritarianism and represent it as a specific form of social and political problem;
Digital authoritarianism – the role of social media algorithms & AI;
Material and social conditions of authoritarianism and the production of authoritarian discourses.

The presentations are scheduled to take 20 minutes, with 10 additional minutes allocated for discussion.
