▼ This study analyzed environmental health, particularly sanitation discourses with a critical discourse analysis approach to see how community participation is promoted. Since the adoption of the Alma-Ata Declaration in 1978, community participation has been promoted as a global discourse of health promotion. This is based on the belief that health is a matter of life and death and it has to be owned by the people. Drawing on Norman Fairclough’s (2003) approach to discourse analysis, global views on environmental health and approaches to the promotion of community participation, power relations in environmental sanitation discourses have been focused for investigation in this study. The study employed mixed methods design although the emphasis is on the qualitative data. The required qualitative data were taken from 5 key policy and strategy documents, 13 environmental health communication resources, 4 scripts of environmental sanitation education lesson observations, 13 scripts of individual in-depth interviews and 4 scripts of focus group discussions. Survey data from 250 respondents were also used to complement the qualitative data. All in all, the study involved 281 participants including seven key informants, six individual in-depth interviewees, 18 FGDs discussants and 250 survey respondents. Participants were selected using multi forms of strategies. The data analysis utilized mainly latent level content and critical discourse analyses. The findings revealed that though community participation has consistently been promoted as a nodal policy discourse of environmental health in general, and environmental sanitation in particular, communities were not participating in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies, programs and interventions as intended. The analysis also showed that in the environmental health education materials, as well as during the actual communication practices, the promotion of community participation has been left aside. The environmental sanitation packages and the awareness raising lessons were found dominated by bio-medical information; iii whereas, community participation is a social practice which requires behavioral change. Moreover, though the policy discourses acknowledged the role of communities’ indigenous knowledge to maintain sustainable environmental sanitation, the waste management and disposal oriented environmental sanitation discourses demonstrated the usual top-down flow of information. It also emerged from the analysis that the unspoken exclusion of communities from the process of designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating their respective environmental health activities as promised in the policy and program documents resulted in silence and resistance. This is to say that communities were not empowered to develop attitudes of responsibility and participation essential to own the environmental sanitation interventions. They rather considered participation as political affiliation and developed sense of… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Hailom Banteyerga (advisor).

Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA), this study deconstructs political discourse obtained from the Nigerian political arena. Employing a qualitative research method, where a case-study design is engaged, the study examines linguistic (mis)representation and manipulation in Nigerian political settings, drawing from instances of linguistic and symbolic materials, as observed from different political endeavours. The study discusses the use of language in Nigerian politics, in an attempt to understand how discourse and symbols are used to manipulate the masses, as well as (mis)represent the politicians. I investigate how language is used by politicians to gain more audience, and, as a result, shape opinions that result in votes. Several themes were developed in the analysis. Important themes are represented in a Wordle analysis. The Wordle analysis presents actual keywords that emanated from the scrutinising of collected data. Linguistic items, such as corruption, Boko Haram, insecurity, power, and support, as well as fight, and God among others, are evident in the Wordle representation. The study realized that manipulation in political discourse could be achieved through different means, such as: through service delivery; religion; situation of the nation; and crafty linguistic expressions; along with ethnic influence; and visuals. Furthermore, the research identified the notion of intertextuality as having a strong hold in political discourse through resemiotisation, repurposing, recontextualisation and recycling of texts. I confirmed that power resides within discourse and as such, discourse can be used to achieve several goals. The work demonstrated how politicians exploit political messages to achieve their political aims using both lexical and visual means. I strongly contend that discourse is powerful, and thus, has the ability to exploit and influence people. Importantly, the study proposed a theoretical model or framework for the analysis of misrepresentation and manipulation in political discourse, as well as other forms of discourse.

▼ This study examines the racial discourses of six and seven year old Puerto Rican children participating in small group literature circles over one academic year. The main research question is "How do Puerto Rican young children in a multiage classroom construct race through dialogue within the figured worlds of literature circles?"This study is based on teacher research qualitative research design, using methods and techniques from ethnography and case study research. This study describes the dialogue of 20 Puerto Rican children, during 4 literature circles. These were chosen as case studies to examine in depth student's racial ideological explorations. Data gathering methods included field notes from participant observation, audiotapes, videotapes, and transcripts.A detailed description and analysis of children's responses to literature, this study documents how young Puerto Rican children's ambiguity and inconsistent usages and meanings of racial terminologies to signify their worlds. Through emerging ideological discourses such as colorblindness and esentializing discourses, young children explore discomfort instead of neutral, inclusive and unifying racial constructions, along with racial harmony that celebrates goodwill and benevolence. Literature circles as figured worlds informed by Rosenblatt's reader-response theory and Holland, Lachicotte, Skinner and Cain (2003) social practice theory of identity, are proposed to be a space were racial identities form and reform, facilitating variable forms of racial talk.The findings of this research illustrate the importance of teacher research as one form of qualitative research to illustrate the complexity of children's racial talk aimed toward educational racial understandings and change. The importance of racial discourses in young children's racial explorations to signify their worlds.

▼ Metonymic and metaphoric language are thoroughly present in everyday language, so much so that they hold in themselves strong explanatory capacity to uncover and even influence underlying individual or social/cultural ideological systems and beliefs about the world around us (Catalano & Waugh, 2013; 2014; Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). The mapping systems involved in both metonymy and metaphor provide access to conceptual and social heuristics that help us make inferential and referential shortcuts (Littlemore, 2015), and thus these figurative constructs are directly implicated as “natural inference schemas” that we engage in the construction of meaning through written discourse (Panther & Thornburg, 2003). Further, these heuristics are environmental, social, and cognitively appointed forces that shape how we understand things and how we work out abstract concepts and how we reason and shape the world around us. Because of this, metonymy and metaphor are crucial foci for any inquiry into how our individual or systemic perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and thought processes (Catalano & Waugh, 2014, p. 407) are revealed through the written discourses in our world. But, while conceptual metaphor has enjoyed a great deal of attention over the last several decades, research into what metonymy can reveal as a potent participant in social and cognitive meaning-making has been comparatively scarce—a notion that is especially disconcerting given strong recent evidence to suggest that metonymy conceptually “leads the way” to metaphor (Mittelberg & Waugh, 2009). Inspired by this, this dissertation project seeks reparation for metonymy’s relative neglect as an effective tool for critical discourse analysts. Through an exploration of metonymy’s critical relationship to online discourse, internationalization in higher education, and language policy and planning, the three studies that comprise this project seek to engage the “explanatory and practical aims” of critical discourse analysis and to support the tireless work of such analysis that attempts “to uncover, reveal or disclose what is implicit, hidden or otherwise not immediately obvious in relationships of discursively enacted dominance [and] their underlying ideologies” (van Dijk, 1995).

▼ Since the 1970s, two distinct leadership styles have been recognised in the fields of business and organisational research - transactional and transformational leadership. Transactional leadership is seen to resemble managerial-type leadership where followers fulfil their duties in return for rewards that satisfy their self-interest, such as payor promotion. Transformational leadership, as the label suggests, is leadership that is seen to transform followers from their everyday selves to their better selves (YukI 1998). Transformational leaders motivate followers hy appealing to their higher-order needs, offering incentives for compliance such as feelings of personal empowerment, a sense of moral self-actualisation and an emphasis on the individual's contribution to the community at large (Harvey 2004). These leaders have been observed to emerge and thrive within contexts fraught with socio-political and economic turbulence, where they maximise the uncertainty of the environment to instigate change. Transformational leaders are seen to be especially adept at using discourse to foster strong, persuasive interpersonal relations with their followers. This research reports on, particularly, the interpersonal dimension of Clem Sunter's transformational discourse; he being a prominent South African scenario planner and business leader. It is essentially a qualitative study that describes Sunter's discourse in three of his texts written in 1996. The end to Apartheid in 1994 and transition from White to Black governance meant that the socio-political climate of 1996 South Africa was conducive to the rise of a transformational leader like Sunter. Although the country was, ostensibly, a democracy in 1996, much social transformation was still needed at the time Sunter produced his texts. The analyses are grounded mainly in Systemic Functional Linguistics, specifically APPRAISAL theory and, to some extent, Critical Discourse Analysis theory. However, the analyses do not follow a classic CDA analysis approach, but draw rather from more recent CDA work (cf. Fairclough 2003), such as the analysis of value assumption types within the texts. This analysis clearly demonstrates that Sunter's discourse is congruent with the principal insights oftransfonnationallcadership. More than this, it is argued that these findings suggcst a close link betwecn transformational Ieadership and the goals of the latest social order of new capitalism, a link not made in the relevant research to date. The analysis of modes of operation of ideology in the texts (cf. Thompson 1990), also deriving from CDA, reinforces this, indicating that Sunter's transformational discourse promotes and maintains the kinds of power inequalities that underpin new capitalism. The APPRAISAL analysis of Affect choices in the tcxt reveals a high frequency of disquiet, i.e. Sunter's discourse is seen to generate feelings of insecurity and fear. This feature, interestingly, is completely inconsistent with current transformational leadership theory, but would have been an… Advisors/Committee Members: Adendorff, Ralph.

▼ In this research I have investigated the application of request strategies and application of force-mitigating or -strengthening constructions in requests for any kind of action performed in English by Dutch and Israeli institutions towards their clients. In this setting, these non-native English speakers need to pragmatically adapt their linguistic performances to the untrained hierarchical setting of polite requesting towards subordinate addressees. It challenges them to conceal threats to the addressee’s face (Watts, 2005) even though no actual warmth of bond (positive politeness) or freedom to reject (negative politeness) is given. Due to the lack of formal language-training in this hierarchical setting I expected the Dutch and Israeli performances of the speech act to be influenced pragmatically by their linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The analytic approach was inspired from different fields of research: Second Language Acquisition, Linguistic Anthropology, Interlanguage and Intercultural Pragmatics. The analysed data is a collection of official letters sent out by different large institutions (universities, embassies and a hotel), of which I collected 32 letters (50 pages) in total, of which 14 letters were from Dutch sources (25 pages) and 18 letters were Israeli ones (25 pages). The letters were written solely for purposes in the work-environment and were sent in at a later moment in time, therefore the language was not affected by the speakers’ awareness of being linguistically analysed. I made use of Critical Discourse Analysis in order to investigate which linguistic features are variable in the pragmatic (illocutionary) force of requests, focussing on different request strategies (Blum-Kulka, 1987), mitigating efforts, coercives and types of reference to the interlocutors. The variations were validated by means of a statistical test for significance (z-test) and explained against the countries’ cultural backgrounds, making use of Hofstede’s method for cultural profiling with regard to power distance and uncertainty avoidance. The analysis showed that overall, the Dutch and Israeli use of request strategies and efforts in force-mitigation were surprisingly similar. The predominantly used strategy is characterised by the use of an imperative verb. Most other request utterances showed very explicit but variably less forceful strategies. Mitigators were used in relatively equal frequency, although less by the Dutch in the imperative construction. Remarkable differences were found in the overtness of speaker-reference among the Israelis, especially in more commercial settings (evoking higher politeness). In especially face-threatening situations, for instance in requesting the addressee for money without certainty the product/service being delivered, the Dutch showed a deviating strategy which converted the request into a construction of the addressee’s acceptation. The underlying processes which caused relative directness were primarily related to linguistic borrowings for the Dutch. The predominantly… Advisors/Committee Members: Foster, A. A (advisor).

▼ Since the passage of PL 94-142, also known as the Education of All Handicapped Children Act, in 1975, special and general educators have been urged to work together to improve the education of children with disabilities through increased access to the general education curriculum. Over the years, the evolution of a collaborative approach to educating students with disabilities has resulted in the increased implementation of co-teaching as a service delivery model and a significant change in the role of the special educator. Co-teaching in inclusive education has been a topic of interest in academic research for more than 10 years and much of the existing research has been limited to exploring programmatic conditions for success or failure in collaboration and co-teaching and developing models of exemplary co-teaching practice. Despite the prevalence of these models and the research evaluating their efficacy, implementation of effective co-teaching in inclusive classrooms, particularly secondary level remains largely elusive. In this dissertation, I use critical theory and critical discourse analysis to theorize my research, as it allows for the examination of aspects of co-teaching that go unnoticed in traditional models and evaluations of co-teaching. In looking at co-teaching through this critical lens, I hope to begin a conversation about the importance of considering discursive aspects of teacher practice as a way to complement current models of practicing and evaluating co-teaching practice. In conducting a study of this nature, I sought to explore the discursive aspects of co-teaching that were immanent in the co-teachers’ language and actions. Foucault’s critical theories on discourse, power, dominance, and construction of the subject formed the theoretical basis for this study. Derived significantly from Foucault’s conceptual work, Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis provided a complementary methodology to structure the majority of the analysis. Specifically, in the first phase of this study I studied their interactions at the local level of the classroom, the institutional level of the school district, and the societal level of governmental policy and legislation. The next phase of analysis extended on the first by exploring the patterns of dominance in the power relations between the two teachers. Finally, this study examined seven critical theoretical concepts that were prominent in the data- discourse, the institution, identity, inequality, ideology, agency, and historicity. Taken together, the three phases of analysis in this dissertation represent an in-depth examination of the co-teachers’ professional relationship from a critical discursive perspective unlike any other study of co-teaching currently published. The participants in this qualitative case study included a New York State certified special education teacher and a New York State certified secondary math teacher who were assigned as co-teachers for a class of students with and without special education needs. Data for this study came…

▼ Current American education is comprised of and influenced by a myriad of complex legislative, technological, and cultural representations of consumption, however this historic-educational study specifically examines how the Reagan administration discursively initiated the consumerizing educational framework. While existing research studies the neoliberal implications on education, this study addresses the neoliberal reforms under President Reagan within the discursive paradigm of its consumerizing impact. By using Critical Discourse Analysis on a selection of Presidential proclamations, speeches, and national educational reports, this study examines and elucidates how the Reagan administration created the consumerizing framework for American education. The Reagan administration distinguished American education from its predecessors as prioritizing the consuming potential of students, while simultaneously situating education as a commodity. The Reagan administration discursively positioned education as a commodity by implementing the free market values of competition and choice. Through Reagan’s encouragement of corporate involvement and rewarding the tenacity of business initiatives in education, American education transitioned from a democratic ideal to a market-oriented institution. This was specifically accomplished through positioning Reagan’s predecessors as misguided and situating Reagan as a rescuer, while legitimating the reforms as adhering to the American spirit. Similarly, business was presented as embodying the essence of the American spirit and being a rejuvenating force. Choice and competition were recontextualized from their economic purpose and recommended as a new form of educational governance. By understanding the results through the lens of some Frankfurt School thinkers and expanding on Bowles and Gintis’ educational theory, this study argues that Reagan’s reforms embodied a physical consumerizing aspect and an interactional consumerizing facet as necessary for the economy of post-industrial America.

▼ The general public is more generationally and geographically removed from agricultural production today than ever before, yet as influential as ever with regards to its ability to impact the operating conditions of the animal agriculture industry. To date, the agriculture industry has focused research and extension on how to educate and persuade the public in order to gain support for its practices and policies. Little work has investigated how the language choices of those communicating about agriculture may be functioning to position themselves and other participants with regards to authority and credibility, and how this affects their communication and the industry as a whole. This study sought to develop an understanding as to how three key groups in the animal agriculture conversation (experts, professional communicators, and agricultural advocates) use discourse and language to position themselves and other participants, their explanations of opposition to animal agriculture, and their ideas about how to best present and justify their arguments to the wider public. In addition to this, the study also sought to understand what power structures and dynamics exist within the conversation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data for a critical discourse analysis. The discursive practices of the participants functioned to ultimately undermine and delegitimize the role of the public and individuals and groups opposed to animal agriculture, as well as position the industry and its constituents as the only authoritative and credible voices in the animal agriculture conversation. This is likely to be prohibitive to achieving the goals of agricultural communication activities. Those communicating on behalf of the animal agriculture industry should become more aware of how their beliefs, values, and ideologies impact the discourse from which they are operating, as well as how their communication is functioning. This research was undertaken from a critical inquiry perspective, shedding light on some of the power structures inherent between the animal agriculture industry and the general public. Others undertaking agricultural sociology and related research should consider doing so integrating a similar theoretical perspective to continually challenge the assumptions and conditions under which the industry operates.

▼ The aim of the this small scale empirical research study was to shed a discursive light on the leadership that was experienced within two primary school settings in the North West of England and the constraints of context that shaped the discourses of leadership within those schools. Contextual factors have been defined as being on three levels: institutional, cultural and governmental. So using this framework as a sorting category for posing situated questions of the participants and Gee’s (1999; 2005; 2011) interconnected one to explore and question the data and the taken-for-granted assumptions, it has been possible to garner an understanding of how these contexts interacted in framing an individual’s understanding of the leadership they were experiencing and implications for their practice. The research questions which this study addressed were: What are the contextual factors that shape discourses of educational leadership? What does the discursive analysis reveal of how stakeholders talk about ways of becoming in the leadership they are experiencing within a socially situated practice? What are the implications of this analysis for the practice of leadership within school? The research was influenced by two particular approaches to discourse analysis, a ‘practice approach’ and a ‘critical approach’. As educational practices are communicative events, this study has adopted a critical discourse analysis in making visible the ways that individuals talk about leadership they are experiencing within their settings. Through a Foucauldian lens it was possible to question the basis for the assumptions and norms of educational leadership in school and examine the ways in which individuals within school were both constructed and shaped by that discourse. This study takes the view that the school as an organizational context for leaders is both complex and under explored as it is in a constant state of flux. Various complexities are acknowledged concerning the contextual nature of leadership; it is complex, context specific, socially constructed, negotiated and hierarchical. Analysis of 18 in-depth semi-structured interviews and 18 cognitive maps reveals a range of Discourses of contextual factors of leadership such as the Discourse of the pivotal role of the headteacher; Discourse of leadership activity; Discourse of identity-work; Discourse of power relations and Discourse of commodification of education all made visible by the individuals within the school to which they endeavour to belong.

The present dissertation aims to examine how significant, Greek social actors and institutions (i.e. PMs, newspapers and protesters) represent social agency in different types of texts and discourses (i.e. parliamentary proceedings-parliamentary discourse, newspapers headlines-media discourse and graffiti slogans-protest discourse), and how this discursive representation gives birth to an emotional construction, shaping significant moments of the Greek crisis in the public sphere[s]. Drawing on the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA, see Fairclough 2003, 2010, 2014; Van Dijk 2008), we study the interrelation between macro-level (dominant) values and views, and the micro-level of individuals and institutions positioning (Van Dijk 2008: 85-89), as retrieved from three types of texts, that is, parliamentary proceedings, newspaper headlines and graffiti slogans. In our theoretical discussion, following a transdisciplinary and integrationist CDA perception (see Fairclough 2010; Van Leeuwen 2005), we, also employ—and proceed to an examination of—the notions of public sphere[s] (see Arendt 1958; Habermas 1989) and politics, as a discursively emerged process within the public sphere; a perception which seems to have significant impact on both political and (critical) discourse studies (see Fairclough 2003; Fairclough and Fairclough 2012; Laclau and Mouffe 1985). Focusing on the micro-level, we sketch and propose an integrationist framework of analysis based on two analytical pillars: We conduct a Systemic-Functional (SF) analysis to scrutinize the transitivity structures (see Halliday and Matthiessen 2004: Ch. 5) of different texts, and an analysis of emotions semiotization in discourse (pathos, see Plantin 2011; Micheli 2014) in order to track constructed emotions and their argumentative force.

Η παρούσα διατριβή επιχειρεί να μελετήσει πως, σημαντικοί κοινωνικοί δρώντες και οργανισμοί (δηλ. πρωθυπουργοί , εφημερίδες και διαδηλωτές), αναπαριστούν την κοινωνική δράση σε διαφορετικά κειμενικά είδη και, πως αυτή η αναπαράσταση δίνει ώθηση σε μια κατασκευή συναισθημάτων, κατασκευάζοντας κρίσιμες στιγμές της ελληνικής κρίσης στη δημόσια σφαίρα. Αξιοποιεί τις θεωρητικές προκείμενες της Κριτικής Ανάλυσης Λόγου (Critical Discourse Analysis - ΚΑΛ, βλ. Fairclough 2003, 2010, 2014; Van Dijk 2008), και την αρχή εξέτασης της αλληλεπίδρασης μεταξύ του μακρο-επιπέδου (macro-level), που περιλαμβάνει τις κυρίαρχες αξίες και οπτικές και του μικρο-επιπέδου (micro-level), που περιλαμβάνει τη γλωσσική τοποθέτηση ατόμων και οργανισμών (βλ. Van Dijk 2008: 85-89), όπως αυτή πραγματώνεται σε τρία κειμενικά είδη, δηλαδή, σε κοινοβουλευτικά πρακτικά, σε τίτλους εφημερίδων και σε συνθήματα γκράφιτι.

▼ This research investigated the effects on two remote Indigenous communities of a Northern Territory (NT) of Australia education language policy, Compulsory Teaching in English for the First Four Hours of each School Day (FFHP). Although the policy was introduced in 2008, it continues to have profound effects on the policy landscape of the NT which has never re-established the bilingual policy platform. The investigation involved a critical analysis of the FFHP and an ethnographic study of its effects. The research reported here follows two qualitative lines of study – the policy text (the process and content of the policy) and policy discourse (the discourse around the policy) in addition to its effects on those it was targeting. The data gathering methods entailed collecting key texts from critical moments of the FFHP implementation - the policy itself and operational guidelines in addition to media texts and a Hansard record. The field data collection comprised interviews with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous language education experts, two community case studies (one of which retained its bilingual program at the school and one which did not as a result of the FFHP) and critical ethnographical research. The latter used purposively selected adult and child participants for group and individual interviews (a total of 53). Given the Indigenous context of the field research and the desire to accurately depict remote Indigenous perspectives, Indigenous methodologies and participatory research approaches were employed. This entailed culturally appropriate consultation with participants, checking the accuracy and interpretation of interview data and Indigenous led participant selection. The analysis of the policy and key community interviews was achieved with critical discourse analysis (CDA). The particular approach to CDA employed was that developed by Reisigl and Wodak (2001) called Historical Discourse Approach (HDA) which emphasises the historical situatedness of discourse and the political dimensions and contexts at work in political texts. CDA is also frequently paired with ethnographic data collection. All community interviews were subjected to content analysis (CA) in order to deduce the major patterns and themes that arose in relation to the effects of the FFHP. This study revealed a language and cultural hierarchy operating with the adoption of the FFHP that entails a postcolonial construction of Indigenous people as ‘invisible’ and deficient. Although not as blatant as the texts associated with the separately occurring Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER), there are distinctly covert negative representations that similarly allude to Indigenous abnormality and failure and imply criminality. In addition, the ideologies, presuppositions and assumptions of neo-liberalism and symbolism of the nation-state operating in the policy, construe, if only covertly, Indigenous languages (ILs), culture and people as in need of mainstreaming to achieve higher socio-economic status,…

▼ The main purpose of this thesis was to describe rape myth prevalence in tabloid news online discussion; to describe the most common types of rape myths, rapes, rapists (e.g. ‘them’ and ‘us’) and victims (e.g. the naughty victim/ ideal/ innocent victim). Also, specific types of talking was analysed in order to identify meanings in talk that blames the victim (e.g. “questioning talk”) – also, talk that opposes mythical rape talk was analysed (“Against the myth”). As the main material, were comments (or texts) retrieved from articles discussing rape cases, as the source was a UK based tabloid news site The Daily Mail Online. Through establishing themes and categories for rape myths, rapes, rapists and victims, the material (user comments) was organized and analyzed – with help from tools ’borrowed’ from Critical Discourse Analysis and Critical Linguistics. Theories by Barthes, Fairclough, Butler and Halliday were applied for theoretical explanations. The following rape myths by Brownmiller and the Schwendingers’ were used as themes for categorization: “No woman can be raped without her will/ Rape is impossible”, “Rape is about sex/ Rape is caused by uncontrollable male sexuality/ imbalance in sex ratio causes rape”, “She was asking for it”, “If you’re going to be raped, you might as well relax and enjoy it”, “Rape in marriage is not that serious” and “Crying rape as an instrument of vengeance aka the ‘rape lie’”. The victim types were categorized as so; “the raped wife” (this victim type was not discussed as a separate victim type, but instead in relation to the myth of “rape in marriage is not that serious”), “the underage victim/ victim traveling alone” and “a victim traveling with a boyfriend/ a victim out alone and drinking”. Whereas the rapist types were grouped to themes of “the husband”, “the stranger”, and “the police officer”. The main conclusion summed up to a notion that mythical rape talk does prevail regarding certain victim types, especially “the raped wife”, “the underage victim”, “victim traveling alone” and “victim out alone and drinking”. Rape myths were identified in almost all article discussions, however only few victim types were considered as ‘innocent victims’ - the partly paralyzed woman in a hospital bed and a young girl raped during daytime. The innocence of these victims is reliant on the fact that no commenting was found that indicated to a use of a rape myth. In addition, rape as a form of structural violence was debated and gender norm associations with sexuality and with rape myth evolvement was in the center of this discussion, for example while discussing the habits in teaching girls how to ‘not get raped’. The notion of rape being a gendered social construct was found to be in the core of rape myth use, for example as a habit of encouraging towards a better internalization of so-called ‘rape avoidance strategies’.

▼ Depictions of formal education are common in Young Adult literature, but there is little scholarship considering the way that formal education is positioned in the genre. This critical discourse analysis examines the relationship between formal education and adolescent agency in 12 Young Adult novels published between 2012 – 2015 that appeared on the New York Times bestseller list and earned a Kirkus starred review. This analysis answers the following questions: 1) What is the relationship between formal education and adolescent agency in popular, critically acclaimed YA novels? 2) How do authors use language to reveal the relationship between formal education and adolescent agency? With a critical lens, informed by the work of Freire, Bourdieu, and Delpit, and inspired by theories of language, literacy, and rhetoric of Burke, Bakhtin, and Rosenblatt, this study examines the positioning of formal education in the text set as it relates to adolescents developing agency. A content analysis of 12 books was coded for valence, agency positioning, and rhetorical choices of authors. Informed by the results of the content analysis, a cluster analysis of five books was conducted that examined what rhetorical choices by authors clustered around scenes coded positively or negatively as they relate to adolescent agency. Findings indicate that, although most portrayals of formal education in the text set positioned education as oppressive, emancipatory education was also depicted as present; emancipatory education existed on an individual level, but the formal education systems were not set up explicitly to develop adolescent agency. Authors used many devices to position educators in the text set, relying heavily on descriptions of pedagogical methods, physical descriptions, and portrayals of interpersonal relationships and interactions between adolescents and educators. Educators who used authentic assessment, demonstrated care for adolescents, and acted warmly towards adolescents were often found in agency-positive scenes. This study has implications for educators who wish to reflect on their own practice and hope to engage their students in critical discourse analysis in school, adolescents who are the target consumers for this media, society, which accepts and perpetuates a narrative of education that is contrary to some of the founding principles of public education, and book publishers, who may want to re-shape the portrayals of formal education in the genre to capitalize on a relatively static teacher narrative. Advisors/Committee Members: Johnson, Holly (Committee Chair).
