The Doctoral Research Seminar in Ideology and Discourse Analysis provides students with a forum in which to discuss current debates in post-structuralist political theory and philosophy; to engage with issues in the methodology of discourse analysis; and to present ongoing research. It also aims to foster and develop presentational, critical reading, and other professional-academic skills. The activities are meant to supplement and enhance the PhD student experience for our IDA and Political Theory PhD students, particularly in relation to GV994 (Professional Development Seminar) and PhD board and supervision meetings.
