WDA Spring School 2026
The next Spring School Discourse Analysis in Sociology of Knowledge will take place from March 25 to 27, 2026. Over the past decade, discourse research in the social sciences and humanities has experienced a boom. Methodological training in the various disciplines has only begun to address this boom. In particular, questions relating to concrete work on texts, dealing with different data formats, and interpreting data in the context of discourse research are among the gaps in methodological training.

The Spring School on Sociological Discourse Analysis (WDA) is aimed at researchers from various social science and humanities disciplines who are working or wish to work on qualification projects or research projects using the discourse-theoretical and discourse-analytical perspectives of WDA. It offers an introduction to the theoretical and conceptual foundations of WDA, an introduction to methodological implementations and their exemplary testing in joint analyses of data provided by the organizers, the opportunity to discuss questions and research designs in WDA-based discourse and dispositif research, and the chance to bring questions from your own ongoing projects or project plans into the discussions.
In addition, two optional specializations are offered:
Specialization A: Specific questions on discourse research in the sociology of knowledge
