Interventionist discourse analysis and organizational change: a case example

This paper provides a case example of interventionist discourse analysis as a tool to provoke organizational change. I focus on one ‘nexus of practice’ [Scollon, R., & Scollon, S. (2004).  Nexus analysis: Discourse and the emerging internet . Routledge] – the  Educating for Change Curriculum Conference  – across 11 years to illustrate how the analysis was used to contribute to racial justice efforts. The paper contributes to a methodological and theoretical trajectory in the field of Critical Discourse Studies focused on how discourse analysis can contribute to justice-oriented efforts.
