- The International Centre for Research in Organizational Discourse, Strategy & Change
The International Centre for Research in Organizational Discourse, Strategy and Change links researchers from four leading international management schools who share an interest in developing and applying discourse methods in the study of organizations. The Centre focuses on the study of organizational discourse, strategy and change and acts as an umbrella for a number of research activities involving its members and other interested researchers. It was launched in 2001 with support from the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney, McGill University, and King's College, University of London.
Discourse analysis is becoming an important field in organization and management theory and offers innovative new ways to approach strategy and change in organizations. Interest in this approach is growing and the Centre offers an opportunity to link international researchers with an interest in discourse analysis in an organizational context. It will help to provide a critical mass in research expertise, develop a centre of excellence, bring together researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds, facilitate cross-disciplinary research, provide a banner for new research initiatives, provide contacts and support for doctoral students, and provide resources for workshops, studies, and other activities. The result will be a significant increase in research activity applying discourse methods to organizations. - Discourse And Rhetoric Group (DARG)
Darg is based in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Loughborough, in the English midlands. DARG was started in Mick Billig's office on a Wednesday afternoon late November 1987. The people present included Derek Edwards, Mike Gane, Jonathan Potter, Dave Middleton, Nigel Edley and Ros Gill. We spent some time discussing the name and its acronymic connotations (LIAR - the Loughborough Ideology and Rhetoric group was a popular alternative). However, Discourse and Rhetoric seemed to pull together some core interests. It was never intended as a formal research centre, with a head, membership, a budget and so on. It was primarily a vehicle for generating discussion at the intersection of a number of interests in discourse, rhetoric, activity and conversation. There was no common agenda or statement of beliefs. Indeed, in line with the rhetorical position we saw it as a creative arena for argument. Our aim was to create a research culture that would be informal, entertaining but also challenging.
During the 90s new staff arrived who took part in DARG. Most notable were (are) Malcolm Ashmore, Sue Wilkinson, Celia Kitzinger, Charles Antaki and Steve Brown; into the 2000s we were joined by John Cromby and Liz Stokoe. Each has reinvigorated DARG and pushed it in new directions. We have had an illustrious and exciting set of international visitors over the years, some passing through, some staying a few weeks or months. Towards the end of the 90s DARG grew out of its old facilities. Some lunchtimes more than 30 people were cramming into the seminar room. So we split things up. The technical equipment was moved to a new dedicated laboratory. The DARG meetings are now in shared space - still every Wednesday at 1.00 in term time. They still keep to the original vision of generating research culture that is led by ideas - rather than money or ambition. We like it.
