Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis - Liverpool 2026:
Details:
Title: Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis
Organisers: Prof Michael Mair (University of Liverpool), Dr Phil Brooker (University of Liverpool), Dr Chris Elsey (De Montfort University)
Venue: Waterhouse Building Block J, 1 Brownlow Street, Liverpool, L69 3GL
Date: 2-3 March
Times: 9am-2pm each day
Overview: Ethnomethodology – the study of practical methods of action and reasoning, i.e., 'ethno-methods' – and conversation analysis – the study of 'talk-in-interaction' – are grounded in detailed investigations of how people in all manner of sites and settings organise their activities together as they go. This short course, which will run over two days with 10 hours of work together, will provide an advanced, hands-on introduction to the unique way both Ethnomethodology and conversation analysis approach the study of social practices. This will be done using 'tutorial problems' centred on the analysis of data collected as part of small-scale studies in ethnomethodology. Among other things, the short course will look at how ethnographic research, observation, interviewing and survey data can be repurposed, that is, put to work in alternate ways when pursued ethnomethodologically. It will also reflect on the senses in which ethnomethodology and conversation analysis represent radical approaches to social inquiry. As such, it will primarily be of interest to PhD students and early career researchers who want to know more about the foundations of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis
