Discourse, Communication, Conversation in Loughborough



During March 2012 I was in Lougbourgh and presented my paper '9/11 and the Realignment of Narratives after Cultural Traumata' at the DDC conference and visited the quite excellent methods and methodology workshop by Emily Keightley,Cristian Tileagă, and Michael Pickering.

Sadly there was not enough time for discussion at the presentation and because of a very tight program I did not get to discuss as much about my work as I hoped to, but I had the honor to meet several very interesting PhD candidates - Canada, Italy, Spain, Germany - and we had very good discussions. 

And I realized that several theoretical implications I had about my work have to be reevaluated,... Paris and the Crossroads conference may give me the opportunity to do so...

First peer-reviewed Article form the 'Journalismus im Wandel'


The article 'WE USED TO BE QUEENS AND NOW WE ARE SLAVES' by Roman Hummel, Susanne Kirchhoff and me has been published by 'Journalism Practice'.

It is online and can be accessed under:
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17512786.2012.667276

The first project based, peer-reviewed article I have written with others since I joined the University of Salzburg. We had it a long way coming and as our journalism practice based projects are now in it's second funded phase, I hope we will have the chance to get some writting done.

Cheers! Thanks to Roman Hummel and Susanne Kirchhoff for welcoming me to such a great team.
