DESIRE, the centre for the study of Democracy, Signification and 
Resistance (www.researchcentredesire.eu) is happy to invite PhD students 
to submit proposals for a one-day PhD masterclass on discourse 
theoretical approaches to politics, society, communication and media. 
The PhD masterclass will take place on Wednesday 6 February 2019 in 
Brussels.

During the masterclass, each student will present her/his PhD project 
and receive in-depth feedback on theoretical and methodological aspects 
of the project from one of the four professors giving the masterclass. 
Depending on the topic, you will receive feedback from Nico Carpentier 
(Uppsala), Jason Glynos (Essex), David Howarth (Essex), or Yannis 
Stavrakakis (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki). Each student will 
also receive feedback from one fellow doctoral student and is expected 
to give feedback to one fellow student. There is a 1-hour slot per PhD 
student.

Interested PhD students should send a document to (bdecleen /at/ vub.be) 
including: description of the project (max 700 words), and theoretical 
and methodological questions to be discussed (max 200 words). The 
*deadline* for applications is *10 June 2018*

Preference goes to students whose research takes a post-structuralist or 
post-foundationalist discursive approach, broadly defined. There is no 
limitation in terms of topics or disciplines.

Selected participants are expected to submit a 5-page paper on their 
project before 20 December 2018. This paper should include a problem 
statement, research questions, conceptual framework, methodological 
framework, empirical material, preliminary results, and a set of 
questions to be discussed.

Participation in the masterclass is free. Masterclass participants are 
expected to cover travel and accommodation costs themselves.

The masterclass is organized the day before the colloquium 'Discourse 
Theory: Ways Forward' (see 
https://www.researchcentredesire.eu/discourse-theory.html), which takes 
place on 7-8 February 2019. PhD students participating in the PhD 
masterclass can attend the colloquium for free.
