Subject: I-LanD Seminar Series - 4th Edition (2nd Semester): Second Seminar


The I-LanD Research Centre (https://i-land-researchcentre.eu/) is
pleased to announce the second seminar in the I-LanD Seminar Series -
4th Edition (2nd semester).
Innovative in format and interdisciplinary in scope, the I-LanD
Seminar Series brings together scholars to discuss key issues in their
fields of expertise, with particular attention to theoretical
perspectives, methodological approaches, research challenges, and
emerging directions of inquiry. Each seminar opens with a brief
introduction to the topic, followed by short presentations by invited
speakers, a roundtable discussion among the panellists, and a Q&A
session with the audience.
The calendar of upcoming seminars can be found here:
https://i-land-researchcentre.eu/the-i-land-seminar-series-3/
The second seminar, entitled "Analyzing Social Media Discourse:
Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches", will take place on Thursday,
26 March 2026, via Microsoft Teams, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (CET).
The seminar will reflect on the interdisciplinary nature of social
media studies through the presentation of different research
traditions and methodological perspectives, both qualitative and
quantitative. Bringing together scholars whose work has significantly
contributed to the study of language and discourse online, the
discussion will explore the hows and whys of analysing communication
in digital environments. As social media platforms continue to reshape
public discourse, identity construction, and patterns of interaction,
understanding these dynamics remains an increasingly important area of
inquiry.
Speakers:
Massimiliano Demata (University of Catania)
Matteo Di Cristofaro (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia)
Candice L. Edrington (University of South Carolina)
Federica Formato (University of Brighton)
Alexandra Georgakopoulou (King's College London)
Philip Seargeant (The Open University)
In conversation with:
Anna Mongibello (University of Naples L'Orientale)
Valentina de Brasi (University of Naples L'Orientale)
Further information about the seminar series, including updates and
programme details, is available on the I-LanD Research Centre website
