Introduces social scientific approaches to discourse analysis and provides training on conducting a qualitative discourse analysis of publicly-available textual data. We explore common theoretical approaches to discourse analysis and develop hands-on skills related to study design, and collecting, coding, and analyzing textual data. We focus mainly on discourses as "macro"-level institutionally embedded patterns of meaning in society, rather than "micro"-level language patterns in interactions, while recognizing their co-occurrence and situating them alongside one another.
