  Re: Colin's message about CDA

  Hi! The ones below I found very useful. In terms of 'new vocabulary' and the 'set of understandings...' you refer, I think they will be of help. 

  Fairclough, N. & Wodak, R. (1997) Critical discourse analysis. In T. A. van Dijk (Ed) Discourse as Social Interaction, London: Sage.

  Gee, J. P. (2005) An Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method, London: Routledge.

  Phillips, N. & C. Hardy (2002) Discourse Analysis: Investigating Processes of Social Construction, London: Sage.

  Wood, L. A. & R. O. Kroger (2000) Doing discourse analysis: Methods for studying action in talk and text, Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.

  Hope this helps.

  Cheers

  Jenny

    Dear ListMembers,

    I am Dr Colin R Purcell-Lee currently amending a viva proposal to an EdD in International Educational Leadership & Management at a UK university. 

    My research dissertation involves 'Identifying an Appropriate Continuing Professional Development response to the Dark [or Shadow] side of Educational Leadership'. The research is text-based and I suggested using a Dialogical Hermeneutic and Foucauldian approach to analysing a range of relevant documents.
    I am now required to use CDA and Foucault rather than Hermeneutics; As I am not a linguist, CDA appears rather daunting.

    I am required to produce a 2 - 3 page document outlining CDA and how this will be employed by me in selection of texts and in relation to the analysis.

    My previous clinical practice involved counselling/psychotherapy with victims of war, torture and oppression consequently I might require a new vocabulary and set of understandings in order to demonstrate an accceptable level of CDA knowledge and its application to texts (official and course material).

    I have some texts on CDA off the net and Maggie Maclure's book Discourse in Educational and Social Research particularly her chap. on 'Definitions of Discourse . . . '.  

    Are there any really accessible texts that would be of assistance?

    Regards,

    Colin.
