CDA and post colonial studies

[R Aldrich]

HI Laila and Andrew

I am a public health physician (with a background in communication and history) currently completing a doctorate in which I have used CDA to examine speeches and press releases of Federal politicians responsible for the health of Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and using/ used post-colonial theory (among others) to explain the evolution of policy language, discourses, outputs and outcomes.

Really interesting area; I too did not find similar research, although van Dijk's work has been very helpful, as have others collected together in
Riggins, S., Ed. (1997). The language and politics of exclusion: others in discourse. Thousand Oaks Ca, London, Sage Publications

.
Best wishes and good luck
