Ethics Discourse Analysis Preparation
This assessment task (A1) provides an opportunity for students to extend their beginning understanding of Discourse Analysis in preparation for applying that understanding by conducting a small discourse analysis on a therapy/research related document (or artefact) in Assessment 3.
Details:
For this assessment, please choose at least five (no more than seven) scholarly articles as the basis for your annotated bibliography (some can be book chapters). One article/chapter can be chosen from the Workshop 4 reading list and the others will be found by surveying the published literature on discourse analysis. Please choose a mix of articles/chapters that include both theoretical approaches (explaining/analysing Foucauldian discourse analysis) and applied approaches (examples of discourse analysis conducted in the therapy studies, or related, field).
The annotated bibliography of 1000 words should provide the following for each article/chapter listed: – full citation;
- an evaluative summary of the article/chapter in 150 – 200 words (concise summary of the key points/findings, noting any strengths/limitations of the source/research it describes);
- a brief comment on the relevance of the source for your understanding of discourse analysis.
Please list your citations/annotations in alphabetical order (by author family). You do not need to include an introduction or conclusion for this assignment.
For further guidance, please refer to the document ’A1 Annotated Bibliographies’ in the A1 Assesment folder on vUWS; or directly at the following Library link.
