Training workshop for doctors and researchers 20/04/2023 and 21/04/2023, Valencia (with the possibility of attending via streaming).
Free enrolment at: https://forms.office.com/e/FSepeLG5xs
Discourse analysis can be a valuable tool for understanding the triangle between knowledge, power and processes of subjectification. Its simultaneous focus on the symbolic and the material is attracting a growing number of researchers in the social sciences and humanities. In this workshop, we want to understand the main logics of sociological discourse analysis, i.e. the analysis of social reality. On the second day of the workshop, students have the opportunity to present and discuss their own research projects and ideas.
