About

Welcome to the webpage of the ArgDiaP association - a Polish nationwide initiative dedicated to the issues of argumentation, dialogue and persuasion. Established in 2008, ArgDiaP has continuously provided infrastructure facilitating the networking process and fostering research on argumentation in Poland, including the research of the Polish School of Argumentation. Initially, ArgDiaP acted as an informal organisation, and on 2nd July 2018 it became a registered association.

The Polish School of Argumentation, which ArgDiaP supports, integrates various disciplines and institutions across Poland, in which scholars are dedicated to understanding the phenomenon of the force of argument. Fifty five authors (Budzynska et al. 2014) declared its Manifesto which sets out the foundations of the School's research programme. 

ArgDiaP pursues its goals through several activities. A strong focus is placed on coordinating events where scholars from different disciplines have an opportunity to exchange ideas. Our flagship event is the series of ArgDiaP meetings that has been organised since 2008 alternating between Polish- and English-language editions. We foster publication initiatives: such as the ArgDiaP series in the SLGR journal, special issues of journals such as Argumentation and Informal Logic, and series of books promoting argumentation theory in Poland. ArgDiaP also coordinates activities in education, such as the IGSAR graduate school, aiming to support the younger generation of Polish researchers.

The steering committee (SC) of the ArgDiaP association comprises five functions: chair, deputy chair, secretary & finance officer, coordinator, and liaison officer.

The chair and deputy chair are responsible for creating the long-term vision and strategy of ArgDiaP as an organisation which aims to successfully support the argumentation community in Poland. The role of secretary & finance officer is to assist with financial arrangements (related e.g. with the organisation of the ArgDiaP workshops) and to facilitate administrative processes. The coordinator is responsible for the management of the association ensuring efficient communication between SC and each of the ArgDiaP departments. The liaison officer fosters networking processes within Poland and internationally.

The activities of the ArgDiaP association are coordinated by four departments: science, communication, undergraduate studies and graduate studies.

The science department is responsible for supporting the best practices and standards in research on argumentation in Poland. The communication department aims to manage the efficient exchange of ideas amongst the ArgDiaP association and the Polish and international community, and maintains the ArgDiaP website. There are two departments responsible for supporting the younger generation of Polish scholars at both undergraduate and graduate level.

The ArgDiaP organisation (currently: the ArgDiaP association) was initiated by Katarzyna Budzynska and Magdalena Kacprzak in 2008. The initiative was a response to a need for the infrastructure which could facilitate the networking process of growing argumentation community in Poland. The first activity was the Polish-language ArgDiaP meeting held on 13th December 2008 in Warsaw. The event attracted many researchers which encouraged Budzynska and Kacprzak to continue their efforts. Since then, not only more ArgDiaP workshops has been organised, but also many other activities has been launched such as special issues of the SLGR journal or IGSAR graduate schools. ArgDiaP became the platform for communication and integration of argumentation researchers in Poland what eventually led to the establishment of the nation-wide research movement of the Polish School of Argumentation.
