    DeXus is the name for the Discourse Nexus summer school, which was held very successfully for the first time in 2003 at the Centre for Discourse Studies, Aalborg University. DeXus focuses on innovative research in discourse studies and its application to a variety of settings and data sets. Participants will engage in a mix of lectures, workshops, group work, individual consultations and discussion sessions.

    The goal of DeXus is to create a space in which attendees can discuss the latest moves in discourse studies, apply approaches in discourse studies to 'real world' problems, learn hands-on in a positive environment and find new relays between academic work and social change.

    Keynote lectures will focus on the following themes: - Revisiting Ideology, Hegemony and Identity in Discourse: Evidence from Institutional Discourse - Rethinking Analytical Practice: Conceptual, Methodological, and Political Implications - Discourse Analysis: Is It Useful; Is It Enough?� Six Areas of Development in Contemporary Discourse Analysis

    Workshops will be held on the following topics: - Discourse, Gender and Linguistic Repertoires: An African Viewpoint - CDA in Practice: Paradoxical Effects of the Iraq war on European Identity - The Discourses of Food in the World System

    More lectures and workshops to be announced soon. Check the website.

    The summer school is international and open to all researchers, PhD and graduate students.
