After a 3-year hiatus, we are pleased to announce the return of the New Zealand Discourse Conference! We welcome 20-minute presentations from any discipline and any framework within discourse analysis and discourse studies. As our attention increasingly turns to issues of social justice, we particularly encourage abstracts in the areas of social and linguistic injustice.��Plenary speakers are��Susan Ehrlich (Professor of Linguistics, York University) and Māmari Stephens (Reader in Law, Victoria University of Wellington).

Hosted at the 91��Ƭ�� by our��Linguistics department, join us for 2 days of exploring discourse ideas, connecting through academia and networking. This multi-day conference will run over Friday 6th and Saturday 7th of December, with an additional pre-conference meet up on the Thursday late afternoon/evening. On Friday night, there will be a chance to come together for dinner (pay as you go).
