Spring School Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse University of Augsburg | 9 to 11 April 2025
(German speaking event)
Over the past decade, discourse research in the social sciences and
humanities has experienced a strong boom. Methodological training in the
various disciplines has only partially taken this into account. In
particular, questions of concrete textual work or the handling of
different data formats and the interpretation of data in the context of
discourse research are among the gaps in methodological training.
The Spring School on the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse
(SKAD) is aimed at researchers from various social science and
humanities disciplines who are working or would like to work with the
discourse theoretical and discourse analytical perspectives of SKAD in a
qualification or research projects. It offers
- an introduction to the theoretical and conceptual foundations of SKAD,
- an introduction to methodological implementations and their exemplary testing in joint analyses of data,
- the opportunity to discuss questions and research designs of SKAD-based discourse and dispositive research, and
- the opportunity to bring issues from ongoing or planned projects into the discussion.
In addition, two optional in-depth courses can be taken:
- Specialisation A: Specific issues concerning the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse
- Specialisation B: Analysis of modes of subjectivation
Further information on the content of the specialisations, conditions of participation and registration can be found here.
