The Discourse Research Association of Ireland (DRAOI) is excited to 
announce the return of our Summer Seminar Series for its fifth 
consecutive year, scheduled for July and August 2025. We are now 
accepting proposals for presentations for this year’s series.

*Key Dates:*

  *
    *Proposal Submission Deadline: *01 May 2025
  *
    *Seminars: *Weekly, July and August 2025


In keeping with DRAOI’s inclusive ethos and the diverse research 
interests of our membership, we welcome submissions that focus on 
discourse research in all its forms. Topics of interest include, but are 
not limited to:

  * (Critical) Discourse Analysis/Studies
  * Discourse Theory
  * Sociolinguistics
  * Pragmatics
  * (Social) Semiotics
  * Multimodal and/or Digital Discourses
  * Discourse, Language, and Ideology
  * Discourse in specific subject areas, such as economics, gender and
    sexuality, policy, government and politics, media, education,
    industry, sustainability and climate change, ethics, sociology,
    psychology, communication, and more.

The Summer Seminar Series provides a collegial and informal space for 
discourse researchers to share their work, connect with like-minded 
scholars, and engage in stimulating discussions on a wide variety of 
topics. Presenters can expect constructive and supportive feedback in a 
positive, collaborative setting.
The format for presentations may vary depending on the submissions 
received and could include:

  * An overview of a planned or 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 or 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 give priority to submissions from discourse 
researchers based in Ireland (north and south), those with personal or 
professional ties to Ireland, or those focusing on discourses within the 
Irish context. We also encourage submissions from researchers at all 
career stages and from diverse backgrounds, including postgraduate 
researchers, independent scholars, and senior academics.
