Monique Mémet Doctoral Workshop

Monique Mémet Doctoral Workshop

University Lumière Lyon II

March 20th, 2025

Spurred on by the success of the Doctoral GERAS Workshop since its launch in 2011, the organising committee has decided to continue this initiative for the 46th GERAS Symposium. We welcome communication proposals from PhD students whose research covers the following topics:

• English-speaking environments and specialist fields;
• Discourse analysis, specialist genres, professional fiction;
• English for Specific Purposes (ESP) Didactics and LANSOD (Languages for Students Specializing in Other Disciplines);
• Specialised corpora and corpus linguistics;
• Translation studies in ESP;
• History and epistemology of research in ESP.

This workshop offers PhD students the possibility to present and discuss, receive feedback, and exchange comments and views on their doctoral research with an attentive audience of pairs and researchers, including their PhD supervisors. Each presentation lasts for 20 minutes and is followed by a Q&A session.

The questions can cover practical or methodological aspects of the research undertaken, as well as those related to scientific publication or in anticipation of a PhD defense. 

A round table concludes this workshop. It is led by a teacher-researcher from GERAS and provides an opportunity for students to discuss their PhD journey and its prospects, either in academic or professional fields. Participants are invited to submit questions and suggest topics that they would like to see addressed during this time.
