Call for papers
The English Language & Linguistics group at the University of Sussex is 
organizing a one-day colloquium on*'Discourse: Multidisciplinary 
Perspectives'*. We invite papers from the full range of disciplines that 
use discourse analysis, such as literature, media studies, anthropology, 
history, linguistics, politics, psychology, gender studies, medicine, 
education, literature and more.  The sub-topic of the colloquium is 
*‘Reflections on Representation, Identity and/or (Non)Belonging'*, which 
we encourage participants to interpret in the broadest sense. As such, 
we welcome both illustrative research papers detailing discourse 
analyses on the topic/s, as well as position papers which help show how 
representation, identity and (non)belonging are understood from a 
discourse perspective within your particular discipline. Various 
perspectives are encouraged and some themes which have emerged from 
discussions with colleagues across disciplines include:
· representation of public/political figures or groups in the media,
· patients’ self-accounts in medicine/psychology,
· defendants’ self-presentations in criminology/law,
· negotiation of self-identity in the classroom in sociology/education 
or representation of values in public and/or educational texts
· identity construction in oral/written memories of war veterans and/or 
historical crucial moments in oral history
and much more.
We hope that the event will lead to greater understanding of how 
discourse is conceptualised and approached across disciplines and reveal 
opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Depending on 
interest, we also envisage a selection of papers being published in a 
special issue of CADAAD Journal (Critical Approaches to Discourse 
Analysis Across Disciplines).
If you are interested in contributing a paper, please send a 300 word 
abstract to Roberta Piazza ((r.piazza /at/ sussex.ac.uk)
