<strong><em>Eager to expand your analytical toolkit?</em></strong><br />

Join us and a team of leading scholars from the Language & Social Interaction (LSI) Division of the National Communication Association for a special 1 day Pre-Conference: “Discourse & Social Context - Engaging with Discourse Data & Methods to Elevate your Current Research”. Registration information about the pre-conference (and main conference) can be found <a href="https://natcom.my.site.com/s/lt-event?id=a1mQO000000clkH#/Home" target="_blank">here</a>.
