Profile

Ruth Wodak is Distinguished Professor and Chair in Discourse Studies at Lancaster University since 1/9/2004 (personal chair). She moved from Vienna, Austria, where she was full professor of Applied Linguistics, University Vienna, since 1991. Ruth is past-president of the Societas Linguistica Europea.

On February 6, 2010, Ruth was awarded an honorary doctorate by University Örebro, Sweden. In September 2010, Ruth became member of the Academia Europaea. On December 19, 2011, Ruth was awarded the Grand Decoration of Honour in Silver for Services to the Republic of Austria (Großes Silbernes Ehrenzeichen für Verdienste um die Republik Österreich) (see https://plus.google.com/photos/108476165525172811802/albums/5689034182536784017?authkey=CPjX67rShNuptQE&banner=pwa&gpsrc=pwrd1#photos/108476165525172811802/albums/5689034182536784017for some details of the ceremony).

In June 2012, Ruth will be spending 10 days at the University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, as 'Academic Icon', supporting the research of the Linguistics Department, giving lectures and holding workshops. (See http://www.um.edu.my/mainpage.php?module=Maklumat&kategori=71&id=911&papar=1for the Academic Icon Programme.)

Besides various other prizes, Ruth was awarded the Wittgenstein Prize for Elite Researchers in 1996 which made six years of continuous interdisciplinary team research possible. In October 2006, she was awarded the Woman's Prize of the City of Vienna.

Her research is mainly located in Discourse Studies (DS) and in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Together with her former colleagues and Ph.D students in Vienna (Rudolf de Cillia, Gertraud Benke, Helmut Gruber, Florian Menz, Martin Reisigl, Usama Suleiman, Christine Anthonissen), she elaborated the "Discourse-Historical Approach in CDA" (DHA) in the 1990s which is interdisciplinary, problem-oriented, and analyzes the change of discursive practices over time and in various genres.

She is member of the editorial board of a range of linguistic journals, co-editor of the journals Discourse and Society, Critical Discourse Studies (with John Richardson and Phil Graham) and Journal of Language and Politics (with Paul Chilton). Together with Greg Myers, Ruth co-edits the book series DAPSAC (Benjamins) (the most recently published monograph in the DAPSAC series is Journalism and Politics).

Ruth has held visiting professorships in Uppsala, Stanford University, University of Minnesota, and Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. In the spring 2004, she had a Leverhulme Visiting Professorship at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. 2007, she was awarded the Kerstin Hesselgren Chair of the Swedish Parliament and stayed at University of Örebro, Sweden, from March to June 2008.

Research Interests

Ruth's main research agenda focus the development of theoretical approaches in discourse studies (combining ethnography, argumentation theory, rhetoric, and text linguistics); organizational communication; identity politics and politics of the past; language and/in politics; racism, prejudice and discrimination.

2010, a special issue of the European Journal of Cultural Studies, co-edited by Lynne Pearce (English Department, Lancaster) and Ruth was published , focusing the construction of regional and national identities in the media and in fiction. A special issue of Critical Discourse Studies together with John E. Richardson (Newcastle) on 'Discourse, History, and Memory' was published in October 2009. In this special issue, we present a range of different discourse theoretical approaches to the discursive construction of memory and the past(s). Another special issue ( The Journal of Language and Politics) is dedicated to New Discourses in Contemporary China (co-edited by Paul Chilton, Hailong Tian and Ruth Wodak) (2010). This special issue will be published as edited volume in 2012, updated and revised (Benjamins).

Ruth hasalso recently published (with P. Kerswill and B. Johnstone) a new comprehensive Handbook of Sociolinguistics (2010). Ruth's monograph The discourse of politics in action: politics as usual has been published in June 2011 in paperback (second revised edition, Palgrave). The co-edited book, with Gerard Delanty and Paul Jones, Migration, Identity and Belonging has also been published as paperback in March 2011 (Liverpool Univ. Press).

Related to the acute and urgent European problems/ issues of transnationalism and migration The Forum of Concerned Citizens launched an 'Open Letter to Europe' in March 2010 which draws attention to the fragile and dangerous situation of migrants and asylum seekers in Europe. For May 9, 2011, which is Europe day, openDemocracyinvited Professor Ash Amin, instigator of the 2010 Open Letter to Europe from the Forum of Concerned Citizens (see above) to edit a special issue, with the theme 'The Uses of Xenophobia'.Ruth contributed to this special issue while focusing on 'Old and new demaguogery'.

In respect to this topic, two edited volumes are in press: Analysing European Fascism: Fascism in Text and Talk (co-edited with John Richardson, Routledge 2012); Rightwing Populism across Europe: Discourse and Politics (co-edited with Majid KhosraviNik and Brigitte Mral, Bloomsbury 2012). June 18, 2012, three short chapter summaries related to our book were published on Opendemocracy; more will follow shortly (http://www.opendemocracy.net/opensecurity/ruth-wodak/security-discourses-and-radical-right).

Ruth has also been commissioned to edit four comprehensive volumes (readers) on CDA for 2012 (Sage).

July 1-3, 2010, an interdisciplinary and international conference "Migrations - Interdisciplinary Perspectives' took place at the University of Vienna, organised by the Interdisciplinary Dialogue - Forum (IDee) of the University of Vienna. Ruth is speaker (Sprecherin) of IDee and was co-organizer of this conference, together with Renee Schroeder. Conference Proceedings Migrations: Interdisciplinary PerspectivesSpringer were published in June 2012 (http://www.springer.com/social+sciences/population+studies/book/978-3-7091-0949-6).

Currently, Ruth's research focusses on the discourse, rhetoric and argumentation of populist rightwing politicans across Europe (compared with the US 'tea- party'), on frontstage and backstage, for a monograph due 2013: The Politics of Fear - Analysing Rightwing Populist Rhetoric (Sage). Specifically, (inter)dependencies between politics and the media will be elaborated in several case studies. The recontextualisation and glocalisation of images and posters across several European rightwing political parties also form a relevant focus of this book.

Moreover, Ruth's current research projects include a study on Language change in Austrian German (from 1970 - 2010), while exploring several genres in various social fields (with Dr. Markus Rheindorf, Vienna). Secondly, Ruth participates in an interdisciplinary team of historians/journalists, psychiatrists and linguistswhich is investigating the discursive and psychological dynamics of a very unique network consisting of children of Holocaust survivers and resistance fighters in Vienna (Kinderjause - Zur Geschichte einer marginalisierten Gruppe; 'Childrens' party - the history of a marginalised peer group).

Ruth participates on the advisory boards of two 7th EU-framework projects, which both started in the spring 2010: ACCEPT (coordinated by Anna Triandafyllidou, EUI); and ELDIA (coordinated by Anneli Sarhimaa, Helsinki).

Ruth teaches on MA and PhD levels and currently supervises 13 PhD students at Lancaster University. She convenes the LIP group (Language, Ideology, and Power) which meets every week during term times, and is also affiliated to CPERC (Cultural Political Economy Research Centre) and DoM (Dynamics of Memory Cluster) at Lancaster University.
