Welcome to the 33rd Annual Conference of the Society for Text & Discourse!

The University of Oslo team is excited to welcome you to the 2023 ST&D conference. A main theme of our conference this year is multiple source processing and comprehension in digital contexts. We are thrilled that Dr. Stephan Lewandowsky will be giving our Keynote Presentation, and we encourage you to read information about him and his talk later in this document. 

The 2023 Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award (DSCA) is awarded to Rolf Zwaan and Ivar Bråten, and we will have an exciting presentation from Dr. Zwaan on his program of research. We also congratulate Caitlin Mills as the winner of the 2023 Tom Trabasso Young Investigator Award. Laura K. Allen, who was the 2022 Trabasso award winner, will present her keynote in this year’s conference. You can learn more about the work conducted by these award winners by reading about them in this document, and by attending their keynote presentations.

Planning for a conference like this takes many people, and we would like to thank the following people for all their help and support: Øistein Anmarkrud, Carita Kiili, Ymkje Haverkamp, Natalia Latini, Christian Brandmo, Lalo Salmerón, Leila Ferguson, Scott Hinze, Joseph Magliano, and Emily Smith. Finally, we would like to thank our Norwegian sponsors, the Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Oslo, and the Initiative fund for educational and special needs educational research.
