The Discourse Research Association of Ireland (DRAOI) is pleased to 
announce that the due date for submissions for the 2024 DRAOI Summer 
Seminar Series has been *extended to Friday*, *7 June.* We hope this 
allows those of you who still wish to submit an abstract the necessary 
time to do so. Thanks very much to everyone who has already submitted an 
abstract!

For the fourth consecutive year, the Discourse Research Association of 
Ireland (DRAOI) is thrilled to announce the return of our Summer Seminar 
Series, scheduled for July and August 2024. We are inviting proposals 
for presentations for this year’s series. In line with the inclusive 
ethos of DRAOI and the diverse pathways to discourse and discourse 
analysis represented by our membership, we welcome submissions focusing 
on discourse research in all its manifestations, including but not 
limited to:
• (Critical) discourse analysis/studies
• Discourse theory
• Sociolinguistics
• Pragmatics
• Multimodal and/or digital discourses
• Discourse, language, and ideology
• Discourse with a specific subject focus: e.g., economics, gender and 
sexuality, policy, government and politics, media, education, industry, 
sustainability and climate change, ethics, sociology, psychology, 
communication, etc.

DRAOI’s annual Summer Seminar Series provides a congenial, informal 
environment for discourse researchers to share their work, connect and 
network with fellow discourse-oriented scholars, and participate in 
enriching discussions on a wide array of topics. can expect constructive 
and supportive feedback in a positive setting when presenting works in 
progress. The presentation format will vary based on the submissions 
received and may include:

• An overview of a planned/in-progress research project or a summary of 
findings
• A book talk (at any stage of production)
• A summary of a recent publication
• A conference presentation (including those presented elsewhere)
• A workshop/tutorial on a specific disciplinary or methodological 
approach to discourse research
• An overview of a Master's or PhD thesis
• Creative proposals are also encouraged.

As in previous years, we prioritize talks from discourse researchers 
based in Ireland (north and south), with personal or professional ties 
to Ireland and/or who are focusing on discourses within the Irish 
context. Additionally, we are committed to showcasing the work of 
scholars from diverse backgrounds at any career stage or status, 
including postgraduate researchers, unemployed/unaffiliated researchers, 
as well as senior academics.

All seminars will be conducted online and are free of charge for both 
speakers and attendees. Details regarding the schedule of presentations 
for the 2024 series, along with links to join the virtual talks, will be 
circulated in due course on our mailing list, which you can sign up to 
on our website (discourseresearch.ie <http://discourseresearch.ie>)
