Description:
The course introduces participants to discourse analysis starting from the philosophical underpinnings of the method, presenting and discussing different approaches to discourse analysis, main principles and key literature on it and finally engaging with analytic tools, examples and hands-on analysis.
The course has a dual aim: to introduce participants to discourse analysis as a qualitative method in the service of analysing qualitative data (discourse) method to analyse and also to discuss the approach to discourse analysis as a paradigm. In this way, the course is a workshop focused on the analysis of discourse and also an opportunity for participants to consider the(ir) reasons and assumptions if they were to employ discursive approaches to their research.
