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 scholars 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.
