In this episode, we speak with Awni Etaywe from Charles Darwin University in Australia about his upcoming publication, 'A CDA/PDA of Jewish Co-Resistance to Colonial Disinformation'. We discuss how disinformation in colonial contexts operates as epistemic and symbolic violence and discuss how Jewish organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace, Breaking the Silence, and the Jewish Council of Australia construct counter-narratives to challenge dominant Zionist framings of the Palestinian struggle. Dr. Etaywe explains his analysis of how alternative Jewish movements are leveraging discourse to foster trans-communal communities of trust and pro-Palestinian moral bonds, and explores the use of linguistic mechanisms such as evaluative couplings and morally charged language to resist colonial disinformation and reframe moral understanding.

S5 Episode 4: Exploring the Power of Ecolinguistics with Professor Arran Stibbe
In this episode, we talk with Professor Arran Stibbe from the University of Gloucestershire and the founding director of the International Eco Linguistics Association about his work in Ecolinguistics.

We also discuss the concept of transdisciplinarity, narrative ecology, and how positive discourse analysis can foster sustainable practices. Arran emphasises the importance of integrating non-human concerns into our value systems and how shifting the narratives can contribute to ecological resilience and sustainability.

S5 Episode 3: Discourse, policy and River Basin Plans in Portugal - Teresa Fidélis
In this episode, we talk with Teresa Fidélis from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, about her co-authored research article ‘The integration of land use and climate change risks in the Programmes of Measures of River Basin Plans–assessing the influence of the Water Framework Directive in Portugal’. We hear how the analysis found a clear shift in the language used in Portuguese River Basin Plans— how ‘concern about land use topics has reduced in the measures’ described in the plans over time. Importantly, we discussed how these results were shared with policymakers and how the research team explained to them that ‘the more particular concerns are evident, the easier they are communicated and  assimilated by other actors’.

S5 Episode 2: The wickedness of net-zero policy - Michael Kranert
We chat with Dr Michael Kranert about his new research article ‘The wickedness of net-zero policy: scales in policy discourse’. In the article, he examines how international climate change policies are adapted at the local level, using a case study from a council debate in Germany about the EU programme ‘100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030’. The analysis focuses on the role of scales in policy discourse, highlighting the complexity and wickedness of climate change as a policy problem. The study contributes to critical policy discourse analysis by outlining the role of epistemological and ontological scales in connecting global and local policy discourses.

S4 Episode 6: COP28 in perspective - what makes a positive text?
We take a step back from COP28 to discuss what makes a successful text for climate change and sustainability.

We examine how these speakers utilize their cultural capital and contextualize their messages for their audiences. We also discuss concepts like intertextuality and positive discourse analysis, ultimately emphasising the importance of a diverse network of voices promoting environmental change.
