Centre for Ideology and Discourse Analysis

Description

The Centre for Ideology and Discourse Analysis (clDA) is committed to the transdisciplinary and systematic study of contemporary ideologies and discourses, and their impact on institutions, movements and policies. The Centre for Ideology and Discourse Analysis is a meeting place for students and scholars interested in post-structuralist and post-Marxist political theory, psychoanalysis, and the broad research program known as the Essex School of Discourse Analysis.
