We are pleased to announce that the 8th Conference for Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines (CADAAD) will take place from 7-9 July 2020 and will be hosted by the University of Huddersfield, UK. There will be a one-day pre-conference workshop on critical stylistic and corpus approaches to CDA on Monday 6 July and there will be a post-conference excursion on 10 July for those interested in joining us.
The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Reconciling rigour and context in CDA’ and whilst we hope to receive abstracts across the usual wide range of topics and approaches, we are asking participants to engage with this general theme in the way that they present their research, both in the abstract and the presentation itself. This means in particular that the steps taken to get from data to results should be emphasised rather than taken for granted. We hope by this means to facilitate more discussion amongst seasoned participants about exactly how we go about our research and about the challenges we face in making sure our work is replicable as well as rigorous. By explicitly addressing the problems of methodology, we also aim to make the conference accessible for scholars new to the field, whether postgraduate research students or early career researchers.
CADAAD conferences promote current directions and new developments in cross-disciplinary critical discourse research. We welcome papers which, from a critical-analytical perspective, deal with contemporary social, scientific, political, economic, ecological or professional discourses and genres. We especially welcome papers which (critically) re-examine existing frameworks for critical discourse research as well as those that highlight and apply new methodologies sourced from anywhere across the humanities, social and cognitive sciences.
There will be a series of plenary lectures at the conference from prominent researchers in the field.
All papers will be allocated 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions. The language of the conference is English.
