[Commlist] CfP: DRAOI Summer Seminar Series

DRAOI 2023 Summer Seminar Series

Relevant Dates
Proposal deadline: 15 May 2023
Seminars: weekly, July and August 2023

For the third year in a row, the Discourse Research Association of 
Ireland (DRAOI) will be hosting a Summer Seminar Series in July and 
August 2023. We are delighted to announce that we are now accepting 
proposals for presentations for this year’s series.

In keeping with the broad scope of DRAOI and the various paths to 
discourse and discourse analysis that our membership reflect, we welcome 
submissions focusing on discourse research in all of its forms, 
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, communication, etc.

DRAOI’s annual Summer Seminar Series provides a welcoming, informal 
atmosphere for discourse researchers to share their work, meet and 
network with other discourse-oriented scholars, and engage in productive 
discussions on a wide variety of topics. When requested for works in 
progress, presenters can expect helpful and friendly feedback in a 
positive environment. The format of presentations will vary depending on 
the submissions received, but 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 in other venues)
A workshop / tutorial on a specific disciplinary or methodological 
approach to discourse research
An overview of a Masters or PhD thesis
Creative proposals also welcome

As in previous years, we aim to host talks from discourse researchers 
who are based in Ireland (north and south), who have personal or 
professional ties to Ireland, and/or who focus on discourses in the 
Irish context. Aside from this selection preference, we are proud to 
showcase the work of scholars from diverse backgrounds at any career 
stage or status (including postgraduate researchers and 
unemployed/unaffiliated researchers, as well as senior academics).

To propose a talk for the Summer Seminar Series, please submit an 
abstract of 200-300 words by 15 May 2023 via the submission form on our 
website, found here: 
https://discourseresearch.ie/summer-seminar-series/2023-summer-seminar-series/ 
<https://discourseresearch.ie/summer-seminar-series/2023-summer-seminar-series/>. 


All seminars will be held online and are free of charge for both 
speakers and attendees. Details of the schedule of presentations for the 
2023 series, as well as joining links to the virtual talks, will be 
circulated in due course on our mailing list. To sign up for our mailing
