DESIRE, the centre for the study of Democracy, Signification and

to submit proposals for a one-day PhD masterclass on discourse
theoretical approaches to politics, society, communication and media.
The PhD masterclass will take place on Wednesday 6 February 2019 in
Brussels.
During the masterclass, each student will present her/his PhD project
and receive in-depth feedback on theoretical and methodological aspects
of the project from one of the four professors giving the masterclass.
Depending on the topic, you will receive feedback from Nico Carpentier
(Uppsala), Jason Glynos (Essex), David Howarth (Essex), or Yannis
Stavrakakis (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki). Each student will
also receive feedback from one fellow doctoral student and is expected
to give feedback to one fellow student. There is a 1-hour slot per PhD
student.
Interested PhD students should send a document to [log in to unmask]
including: description of the project (max 700 words), and theoretical
and methodological questions to be discussed (max 200 words). The
*deadline* for applications is *10 June 2018*
Preference goes to students whose research takes a post-structuralist or
post-foundationalist discursive approach, broadly defined. There is no
limitation in terms of topics or disciplines.
Selected participants are expected to submit a 5-page paper on their
project before 20 December 2018. This paper should include a problem
statement, research questions, conceptual framework, methodological
framework, empirical material, preliminary results, and a set of
questions to be discussed.
Participation in the masterclass is free. Masterclass participants are
expected to cover travel and accommodation costs themselves.
The masterclass is organized the day before the colloquium 'Discourse
Theory: Ways Forward' (see
https://www.researchcentredesire.eu/discourse-theory.html), which takes
place on 7-8 February 2019. PhD students participating in the PhD
masterclass can attend the colloquium for free.
