Conference Theme: Dialogue and Representation
We invite researchers to submit proposals that address the connections of representation and dialogue, which can be problematized in at least the three following ways:
1. Dialogue as representation,
2. Normative perspectives on dialogue/representation issues, and
3. Representations of dialogue.
The conference also welcomes any contribution addressing the question of dialogue.

Call for Papers:
Critical discourse analysts and theorists are not the only people involved in the articulation of critique in the public realm. Political debates typically consist of layers of meta-discourse. They are fundamentally discourse about discourse and could not exist without the reflexive features of articulatory practice. Many researchers in critical discourse studies focus on social and political debates related to issues such as class, migration, ecology, globalization, or economic crisis.
The Conference
Interpretive policy analysis engenders and embraces research which extends across the social sciences and is applied to a vast range of policy topics. The common intrest of interpretive approaches to policy analysis is the recognition of the importance of discourse, meaning making, interpretation and the performance of social practices both in devising and in enacting policy.
Due to the rise of the radical and populist right wing in the US and in Europe and due to pressures of globalization, immigration has become an important electoral and political topic. The immigrant, often metaphorically built as a problem or threat, has become the unwitting star of the political and cultural struggles for redefinition of national identities and liberal values such as tolerance, religious freedom, freedom of expression, or the political landscape itself, traditionally organized along the left/right axis.
