Biography
Following university studies in England and the United States, Robert Gould began teaching and research in the German Department of Carleton University in Ottawa. After becoming interested in the theory and practice of rhetoric, he taught courses on the development of political language in Germany in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This led eventually to an examination of contemporary discourses of immigration and identity in a range of European countries – Austria, Germany, Ireland, Spain, and Switzerland – as represented by political position papers and on-the-record public statements by politicians in those countries. In addition to being Adjunct Research Professor in the School of Linguistics and Language Studies, he holds a similar position in Carleton’s Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies.
