The sixth New Zealand Discourse Conference (NZDC) addressing theoretical, methodological or empirical research in discourse analytic approaches will be held at the Auckland University of Technology from 6 to 9 December 2017. The first due date for abstracts is 14 May and the second due date is 16 July.
The conference takes place every second year and the workshops presented by the keynote speakers add excellent value to the conference. Keynote speakers for this year include Michael Bamberg, David Barton, Sigrid Norris and Theo van Leeuwen. The following themes act as guidelines for abstracts but researchers are not limited to these:
- Art and creativity
- Culture and identity
- Environment and sustainability
- Gender and performativity
- Geosemiotics
- Health and wellbeing
- Indigenous studies
- Institutions and organisations
- Interpreting and translation
- Knowledge and learning
- Language and communication
- Language policy
- Mediated discourse
- Migrant and refugee studies
- Multimodal critical discourse
- Multimodal discourse
- Multimodality of identity
- Multimodal interactions
- Multimodal texts/artefacts
- Nexus analysis
- Other
- Sound and music
- Sports and lifestyle
- Technology and media
Although registration is open, the web page is not yet fully populated and vital information is still not uploaded. However, if you are planning to attend the conference, do submit your abstract as soon as possible.
Auckland is a beautiful city and New Zealand most definitely worth a visit, but South Africans must note that they now need visas to enter New Zealand and cannot visit the country if they only have Australian visas.
