PhD Position in Argumentation, Identity and the Public Sphere
Job
In this project, the PhD will collaborate with the principal investigator to connect literature on communication and identity to argumentation theory, resulting in an analytic model for empirical analyses that has clear links with current research in argumentation theory. The researcher will primarily focus on connecting insights in (interactional) sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology and/or discourse/conversation analysis to the field of argumentation theory, and can develop these connections on a case study of their choice. The researcher compiles their own corpus and designs their own study within the scope of the project. In particular, this project starts from the premise that argumentation can be highly productive in creating an in-group and feelings of belonging, particularly in the public sphere. The researcher is expected to contribute with their project to the study of communication in the public domain.
