Biography

Michal Krzyzanowski is Professor of Language & Communication at the Department of English & Communication of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He is one of the key scholars in the field of Critical Discourse Studies (CDS), with his work widely followed and cited across several disciplines including linguistics, communication, media studies, social and political psychology, education, and social and political science. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Language and Politics and Co-Editor of The Bloomsbury Advances in Critical Discourse Studies book series. He sits on the editorial boards of such journals as Critical Discourse Studies, Discourse & Society, Language in Society, or Social Semiotics.

Research Overview

Michal is best known for this research on language and mediated communication in the processes of social change, where his long-term focus has been on strategies of public discourse that normalize various forms of discrimination and exclusion. He has analysed extensively how discourses in politics, media and the wider online/offline public spheres contribute to the politicization and mediatization of key social issues – such as immigration, crisis, or far-right populism – while increasingly shifting towards exclusionary narratives and imaginaries. Michal has also worked extensively on the synergies between Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) and other approaches to text, discourse and public communication analysis such as, for example, Corpus Linguistics. He also developed Discourse-Ethnographic Analysis (DEA) that links critical discourse and ethnography as well as Discourse-Conceptual Analysis (DCA) at the intersection of CDS and conceptual-historical analysis.
