Post-structuralist approaches to critical discourse analysis: A hybrid approach

Camila Montiel McCann (University of Liverpool)

This talk will offer insight into how to incorporate marginalised voices into your research and how to decentralise the perspective of the researcher as the omniscient authority on a topic. Using my own research into the representation of women in the news media, I will explain how I supplement a more straightforward critical discourse analytical approach with a poststructuralist analysis in order to provide self-reflexivity in my research and re-centre the voices of those who I study. Though based on feminist approaches to language and gender, this talk is relevant to those doing qualitative research who want to take steps towards a more intersectional, decolonised methodology and inclusive, collaborative research.
