Hybrid Lecture Series: "TaalX2: Discourses of Discrimination"

TaalX2 (pronounced like 'talks talks') is an annual event series organized
by the Sector Plan Theme TaalX: Language in Context at the University of
Groningen.


*About the 2024/25 Event Series*
Our upcoming event series is grounded in Critical Discourse Studies (CDS),
a key area within discourse studies dedicated to uncovering how language
and communication can perpetuate social inequalities and intensify societal
tensions.

Over the past three decades, CDS has provided vital insights into how
racist, xenophobic, sexist, and homophobic/transphobic ideologies are
reinforced by the language and semiotic practices of influential social
actors and institutions.

In this spirit, we invite ReMA and PhD students across the Netherlands and
anyone with an interest in the topics discussed to participate, to engage
deeply with CDS as a scholarly approach in linguistics and discourse
analysis.


*Monthly Guest Lectures*
Starting in November 2024, we will host monthly guest lectures by experts
in CDS at the UG. These sessions will address pressing societal issues such
as hate speech, racism, sexism, and homophobia, and explore their
intersections with linguistics and discourse analysis. These lectures offer
ReMA students, PhD candidates, and the UG staff the opportunity to engage
with innovative methodological insights that are essential for advancing
critical discourse research in a polarized and conflict-ridden Europe.


*Keynote & Networking Event*
The series will culminate in a one-day keynote and networking event in May
2025. This event will feature keynote lectures by two leading experts in
CDS and provide a platform for ReMA and PhD students to present their
research in a poster session, receiving valuable feedback from peers and
professionals.


*Join Us*
This initiative aligns closely with the objectives of the sector plan theme
we participate in, and offers a unique opportunity to advance rigorous CDS
research. We aim to attract and inspire ReMA and PhD students to contribute
to this dynamic field, thereby enhancing the visibility of the UG and the
Dutch linguistics community within the broader European context.
