Monique Mémet Doctoral Workshop

Université Bourgogne Europe

March 19th, 2026

Spurred on by the success of the Doctoral GERAS Workshop since its launch in 2011, the organising committee has decided to continue this initiative for the 47th GERAS Symposium. We welcome paper proposals from PhD students whose research covers the following topics:

- English-speaking environments and specialist fields;

- Discourse analysis, specialist genres, professional fiction;

- Didactics and the LANSAD (Languages for Students Specializing in Other Disciplines) sector;

- Specialised corpora and corpus linguistics;

- Translation studies in English for Specific Purposes (ESP);

- History and epistemology of research in English for Specific Purposes (ESP).

This workshop offers PhD students the possibility to present and discuss, receive feedback, and exchange comments and views on their doctoral research with an attentive audience of pairs and researchers, including their PhD supervisors. Each presentation lasts for 20 minutes and is followed by a Q&A session.

The questions can cover practical or methodological aspects of the research undertaken, as well as those related to scientific publication or in anticipation of a PhD defense.

This workshop concludes with a round table. Led by a teacher-researcher from GERAS, it provides an opportunity for students to discuss their PhD journey and its prospects in either academic or professional fields. Participants are invited to submit questions and suggest topics they would like to see addressed.
