Language, Ideology and Power (LIP) Research Group
Welcome to the Language, Ideology and Power Research Group website! This long-standing research group was first set up by Professor Norman Fairclough and continues today under the direction of Professor Ruth Wodak. This group attracts an interdisciplinary and international membership of scholars who share an interest in the empirical and theoretical investigation of language in context.Our interests cover a wide range of perspectives on the relationship between discourse and identity, knowledge, power, governance, politics, economics, institutions and cultural formations.
We regularly invite international guest speakers from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, as well as maintaining close connections with other departments in Lancaster University , including the Management School, Sociology, Politics, and Educational Research. Our members also have close links with the Institute for Advanced Studies.
Meetings
We meet every Monday, 17:00-18:00 in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Seminar Room 2 (occasional venue changes are posted on our mailing list).
