[Commlist] Critical Discourse Analysis Course

Critical Discourse Analysis Course
Dates: 8 October - 12 November 2026 (weekly sessions)
Time: 2pm - 4pm (CEST/CET time zones)
Location: online

This fall 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 CDA 
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. 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.

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