This course offers a practical introduction to Critical Discourse 
Analysis (CDA). While the course covers key theoretical assumptions and 
concepts, the focus is on how to do critical discourse analysis. 
Specifically, students will be introduced to different approaches to 
critical discourse analysis and how these approaches may be applied and 
combined. The course centers on three forms of discourse that are key in 
solidifying and defying power relations: media discourse, 
political-institutional discourse, and social movement discourse. 
However, the theoretical knowledge and practical focus of the course are 
also applicable to research examining other forms of discourse.

This course is particularly recommended for graduate students and 
researchers interested in the role of language and visual communication 
in constructing, maintaining, and challenging power relations. This is 
an introductory course and does not require previous formation in 
discourse analysis. However, given its practical focus, this course is 
also recommended for students and researchers familiar with CDA 
approaches who would like to strengthen their analytical methods and skills.

Apart from live class sessions, the course includes asynchronous 
participation with previously assigned readings and a final group 
activity. Class sessions will be supported by Zoom and asynchronous 
participation with readings and other course materials will be supported 
by Perusall.

This course is organized and taught by Dr. Lucía de la Presa, Professor 
and Coordinator of the Centre of Discourse Studies. The last session of 
the course includes a MasterClass by Dr. Teun van Dijk, Director of the 
Centre of Discourse Studies and Honorary Professor of Pompeu Fabra 
University.
