Discourses and Cultural Practices

29, 30 November & 1 December 2007

The aim of the conference is to explore discourses and cultural practices from a range of perspectives.

We are interested in theoretical and applied research on discourses and cultural practices eg discourse and subjectivity, theories of discourse, practices as ‘the new discourse’; descriptive studies of discourse and cultural practices in specific contexts eg work, play, popular culture, organizations, media; and applications to professional and pedagogical contexts. The third day of the conference (Saturday) will have a particular focus on discourse and cultural practices in relation to language and literacy education.
