A new beginning

My 2-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Zukunftskolleg of Konstanz University in Germany officially starts today. I hope it will prove a good opportunity to revive this blog and fill it with content connected to my scientific work. The title of my project at the Zukunftskolleg is: "Attitudes to confessional and religious minorities in the changing Latvian, Lithuanian and Polish discourse". You can find the description of this project here, and my updated profile at academia.edu here.
For a good start, I'm posting some references on discourse analysis, language in social context and the media below. This is the point of departure for the theoretical/methodological foundations of the project. In the next weeks I'm going to explore the university library in Konstanz in order to see what publications on these issues it offers.
