Narrative:
As we approached the departure end of runway 18L; dfw tower launched an A321. After they were rolling; we were cleared to line up and wait. We were then cleared for takeoff RNAV to bpark on a diverging RNAV departure. The takeoff was normal and the climb was on profile until we got to 1;000 ft AGL. At this time we encountered wake turbulence from the airbus. The aircraft was partially upset; and the stick shaker activated. I immediately lowered the angle of attack; leveled the wings and was advancing the power when we came out of the wake. I returned the aircraft to the normal climb configuration; attitude and power and we reported the wake turbulence encounter to ATC. There were no other issues and the flight continued as normal.the threat was ATC launching us too close to the proceeding A321 resulting in the partial upset. I think we did a good job and reacted the way the company has trained us to react. I believe that the light wind was a contributing factor.
