Currently, he is research associate at the University of Graz and associated researcher at MESH, working in the project Just Futures? An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cultural Climate Models (CCM), in particular in WP2 (Modelling Climate Futures in Multimodal Social Media Discourse) with MESH researcher Dr Carolin Schwegler. Jöran Landschoff’s academic interests revolve around socio- and discourse linguistic questions, focusing in particular on issues of political opinion dynamics and cultural knowledge structures. Investigating current problems in modern societal debates, his research necessarily looks into individual’s and group constructions of future challenges and their possible solutions.
In his PhD thesis, Jöran Landschoff analysed a German Twitter corpus, aiming at detecting interactional communicative patterns, argumentative strategies and opinion communities in regard to attitudes toward climate, Covid and the candidates for the German Chancellorship in 2021. Apart from this, the Philosophy of Language and questions of discourse and power are his constant companions.
