Students study public discourse on Occupy

Communication students in lecturer Amoshaun Toft‘s Qualitative Inquiry and Discourse classes have worked all Spring quarter to produce the website, ‘Change the Discourse’, focusing on how the public talks about the Occupy movement. According to the website, “Change the Discourse is a collaborative project engaged in analyzing the following question: How is the Occupy/99% movement represented through discourse in the public sphere?

Toft says, “The site presents 23 collaborative original discourse analysis research projects that students completed looking at how the Occupy/99% movement has been produced through language use in the public sphere.”
