ABSTRACT
Critical Discourse Analysis is flourishing in educational research. Most remarkable is the accelerated publication rate of CDA-inspired educational research. Indeed, 46 articles were published between 1983 and 2003 (Rogers et al. 2005) versus 257 in the last eight years alone (Rogers and Schaenen 2014). This marks a six-fold increase in half the time. The popularity of the framework is also evidenced by conferences, well-attended pre-conference institutes at the American Educational Research Association, books, a wide range of publications in books and educational research using CDA published in 140 different journals around the world. CDA research in education is presented at the international conference Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across the Disciplines alongside of scholarship from political science, sociology and legal studies.
