Doing Research with Discourse Analysis: A Discourse Perspective on Making Sense of Social Change / Amsterdam, Netherlands

Host Institution: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Coordinating Institution: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Website: http://www.studyabroadinamsterdam.nl/en/summerschool/courses/discourse_analysis/discourse.asp

Dates: 06-Jun-2015 - 17-Jul-2015
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands

Focus: Language not only reflects social change, but also drives social change. This course provides a framework to make sense of these phenomena through discourse analysis. It offers advanced academic skills. Through examples of various research designs, you learn how to incorporate discourse analysis into your own field of study.
Minimum Education Level: BA


Description:
Methods covered include:

- transdisciplinary research design    
- text analysis and content analysis
- ethnography, conversation analysis
- framing and subjectivity
- historical discourse analysis
- context and data selection

You are required to participate actively in the group discussions and
assignments, contributing perspectives from your own discipline so that you
learn to account for the choices you make in your research design and its
discourse analytic component.

VU University Amsterdam and its Network Institute have a long tradition of
fostering transdisciplinary research. The tutors in this course are closely
associated with that effort: Amsterdam Research on Text and Talk in
Institutional Settings (ARTTIS) specializes in effective communication; the
Amsterdam Critical Discourse Community (ACDC) encourages academic dialogue
across disciplines; there are courses in Discourse Analysis and Active
Entrepreneurship in the university’s Economics and Business Studies Programme.
Moreover, your tutors include senior lecturers and professors from the world’s
leading centre for critical discourse analysis at Lancaster University (UK).
Together, we assure of plenty of classroom interaction.
