Argumentation Theory in Academia

We are looking at just the basics of argument analysis in this module but if any of you are interested in a little more depth then there are plenty of places online to find out more. A good place to start if you want to know about what is going on in argumentation theory research is to look at the Argumentation Research Group (ARG:dundee) in our own School of Computing. So that I am not solely blowing my own trumpet, as a member of ARG:dundee, I also found this argumentation blog written by a postdoc at the University of Lugano in Switzerland. I found it whilst looking for examples of people other than ourselves using Araucaria, and discovered that both Doug Walton, a friend of ARG:dundee and author of the core text for this module, and Chris Reed, original developer of this module had attended Lugano in 2007 to speak at a seminar.
