[Tps] Workshop on Frames, Framing, Frame Analysis

[Navdeep Mathur]

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.
