Hello everyone,
DAAC preparations have proceeded slowly within the bounds of other duties (teaching and research, personal lives), but proposals from the US and Taiwan have trickled in.
Unfortunately, we have yet to receive a Japanese proposal. With inclusivity in mind, we have decided to open proposals until all slots are filled. This gives people inundated by year end work a chance to participate, as well as students and researchers who may have been reticent.
Please spread the word!
DAAC Open Call
Open Call for the Discourse Analysis in Asia 1st Conference (DAAC-1)
Kobe International University, March 7-8, 2020.
DAAC-1 is a pilot event to promote and support Discourse Studies in Asia. Proposals can be of Discourse Studies in Asia, by researchers in Asia, or from neighboring areas hoping to connect to DA practitioners here. We welcome academics from all levels, both instructors, students, and researchers, whether first submitters or previously published, to submit their work for presentation. Objects of analysis may be from any field, from politics, to linguistics, to education, etcetera. To encourage submissions, our reviewers will give suggestions for improvement to proposals, such as suggested readings or approaches in line with Discourse Studies.
In line with this inclusive aim, we are proud to announce proposals will be accepted until remaining presenter slots are filled. Presenters from Taiwan and the USA have already been accepted, and we hope to have an ever wider range of presenters representing Asia and the world.
Participation is FREE, and presenters will be provided refreshments, town information, and tour events.
