Doctoral Seminar in Discourse Studies (DSDS)
The Doctoral Seminar in Discourse Studies (DSDS) is a biweekly advanced seminar for PhD students from any discipline and any university interested in studying discourse, society, and relations of power. Each session will focus on a distinct topic or branch of study within Discourse Studies, with participant-led lectures and discussion. All participants will also have the opportunity to present their doctoral research within the seminar.
DSDS is organized and facilitated by CentreDS Founding Director Prof. Teun van Dijk and General Coordinator Dr. Lucía de la Presa.
All participants must be able to attend the sessions in-person at the Centre of Discourse Studies in Barcelona.
This seminar is free of charge, but participants must hold a CentreDS Local Membership (€60 for the 2027 yearly membership).
