Frames and framing across the social sciences:  A workshop
 
9 May 2008, 13.00 - 17.00
 
Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
 
Organizers: prof. dr. Dvora Yanow, Vrije Universiteit
dr. Merlijn van Hulst, Tilburg University
 
Frames and framing have been of interest to researchers working in a variety of disciplines across the social sciences. Not only sociologists (including students of social movements), but also political scientists (including policy analysts and planners), anthropologists, and linguists have been interested in the way actors frame the world(s) in which they live. Gregory Bateson, Erving Goffman, Donald Schön, Martin Rein, and George Lakoff, to name but a few, have written persuasively on the topic. 
 
This workshop is intended to gather together scholars across several fields - including social psychology/social movement theory, management studies/mediation, public policy analysis, and linguistics - who have recently and/or are currently writing about frames, (re)framing, frame (or value-critical) analysis, and the like. We also welcome people interested in learning more about this kind of research. The workshop is designed to address the question of how the disciplines represented by invited and attending scholars have defined, explored, and treated these concepts, as a way of assessing their use across disciplinary boundaries.
