Description:
Through examples of transdisciplinary research design you learn to reason why

that language not only reflects society and change but also drives it. The
focus is on analysing language use and other forms of communication to
generate evidence of social phenomena, such as racism, politics, power, law,
teaching, peace or war, and collaboration. We offer an inspiring program with
expert lecturers from the VU Communication and Information Sciences and
Organisation Discourse, and guests from Fribourg University and two leading
centres of Critical Discourse Studies at Lancaster University, the University
of East Anglia.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
