What is a social actor?
This question—what is a social actor—is an important one that we, as people doing text and discourse analysis, should take seriously. It is a question that we should address before getting into the de...
'...as a critical discourse analyst, I’m concerned with who has the power to use their will and who does not; and I’m concerned with the extent to which texts and discourse are a factor in facilitating or curtailing this power...'

So...the Discourse Academy is to fill this gap: a space for developing, discussing, teaching and learning methods of critical discourse analysis.

So even good text books on analytical methods can't give a complete account of an analytical method. Research articles don't usually have the space to discuss any analytical developments that might have been made in the course of an analytical project.

There's a need to illustrate new developments in analytical method with examples.

What is The Discourse Academy?
The ambition is that we build a forum for developing, discussing, teaching, and learning methods of critical discourse analysis.
Why should there be a need for such a forum?
