Spread the word! Our division is open to anyone who works on discourse analysis, conversation analysis, ethnography of communication, & related approaches! This is the conference I’ve been going to almost every yr for the past 9 yrs. I’m currently the vice chair & program planner of this division!

Our CU Boulder LSI students gave some fantastic paper presentations at WSCA on a panel entitled, Race, Resistance, and Identity. Here's us afterwards looking proud (me) and relieved (them).

My favorite part about being a discourse analyst is exactly this. It's nice to have labels for things we notice but can't quite pinpoint...and then feel validated that it's not just me overthinking but an actual 'thing' that has been documented as happening routinely.

« Growing up, I always picked apart what people said. I was so excited when I found discourse analytic tools that give evidential backing to how talk works and what it means. »-Natasha Shrikant, U of Colorado Boulder #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 photo by @rovinglinguist.bsky.social

Qualitative linguists/discourse analysts who have moved into industry (but not as freelancers): what fields and areas have you moved into, what kind of training have you had to acquire, what tips would you give to someone starting a job search out of the academy? Thanks for any pointers.
