Do you conduct research on discourse, space, mobility and/or politics? Would you like to meet other scholars and students from the Humanities, Social Sciences, Medical Sciences and Natural/Technical Sciences who have a similar interest?

The Centre for Discourse Studies invites you to participate in a local workshop on discourse, space, mobility and politics for researchers at Aalborg University and other institutions in the Aalborg region. Since many scholars and groups are working independently, we feel that it is time to assess the state of research in Aalborg on this interdisciplinary theme, and to listen to other perspectives to envisage possibilities for commentary and mutual collaboration.

In this workshop, participants will present their research in a roundtable session and discuss fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations. Recent books and articles that suggest possible lines of enquiry are listed below.

Opening lectures will be given by three distinguished scholars:
bulletRon Scollon, Geosemiotics Consultant
bulletSuzie Scollon, Geosemiotics Consultant
bullet Eric Laurier, Institute of Geography, University of Edinburgh

All three guests will be present throughout the workshop.

The deadline for registration is 15th March 2006, and attendance is free (lunch included for all presenters). Please give an indication of your institutional affiliation and your research area and interests. If you would like to present your research for 15 minutes, then please describe your topic (title and short abstract) when you register. The language of the workshop is English.

Location and travel information is available on this web site.
