PhD2020-Nottingham-Elderspeak + (ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship: Is 'el …
ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship: Is 'elderspeak' always inappropriate? An empirical investigation of the use of elderspeak in dementia care The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). The University of Nottingham, as part of Midlands Graduate School is now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partner Nottingham University Hospitals Trust to commence in October 2020. ‘Elderspeak’ is defined as the use of systematic speech accommodations directed towards older adults. Features of elderspeak include speaking more slowly, and using shorter turn constructions, repetition, and terms of endearment such as ‘dear’ or ‘darling’. Some authors have objected to its use on moral grounds, on the basis that it is similar in tone and register to ‘infant speak’, and is therefore patronising and infantilising to older persons. However, empirical studies of elderspeak in a dementia-specific context present a mixed picture, with some studies suggesting it can improve communication and cooperation with care and others suggesting it may increase resistance to care. This mixed picture presents a dilemma for healthcare practice. This project will use the sociological method of conversation analysis to examine the use of elderspeak as it occurs between patients and staff on acute Healthcare of the Elderly hospital wards. Analysis will begin with an existing corpus of video recorded data, but the successful candidate will also collect and analyse new data to supplement this. The project aims to provide a more detailed contribution to the empirical basis for delivering dementia care; and to develop a training resource for staff grounded in this empirical research. The student will be based in the School of Sociology and Social Policy, and the supervisory team are Prof Alison Pilnick (Sociology), Dr Sarah Goldberg (Health Sciences), and Prof Rowan Harwood (NUH). More information about the project can be found here: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/mgsdtp/collaborativeandjoint/pilnick_nottingham_-_collab_advert_2020.pdf Application Process Informal enquiries can be addressed to Alison.Pilnick@nottingham.ac.uk To be considered for this PhD, please complete the Collaborative Studentship application form available online here, and email it with cover letter and CV to esrc-dtc@nottingham.ac.uk. Shortlisted applicants will also be required to provide two references. Applicants should have a minimum of a 2(i) undergraduate degree or Merit at Masters level, and be able to demonstrate an interest or relevant experience in the topic or method of the project. Please note that a 3 year PhD award can only be made to candidates who have already fulfilled ESRC Core Training requirements. 1+3 and 3.5 year awards are available if training elements still need to be completed. Applicants must also meet ESRC eligibility criteria for funding. Application deadline: Monday 24th February 9am. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted on Tuesday 25th February and interviews will be held on Monday 2nd March.
terviews will be held on Monday 2nd March.)

ESRC Doctoral Training Centre Collaborative PhD Scholarship - Dignity and Compassion in Practice: an audio and video based study with advanced nurse practitioners PhD studentship with the School of Health Sciences and the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Nottingham, and Nottingham Universities NHS Trust Closing Date: 18th April 2017 Department : School of Health Sciences with School of Sociology and Social Policy Applications are invited for this +3 PhD Studentship from suitably qualified UK/EU graduates who meet ESRC residency requirements. The PhD will entail an empirical study of healthcare interactions. Specifically, the study will involve designing and conducting video and audio based research on interactions between senior nurses and patients in healthcare of older people settings within a single hospital trust. The research approach used will be conversation analysis. The purpose of the project will be (1) to identify and analyse the largely tacit communication strategies through through which compassionate care is accomplished, and through which obstacles to compassionate care are circumvented, and (2) To design communication teaching resources based on recordings of real life practice. Extensive support and supervision will be provided by Prof Alison Pilnick, Dr Alison Edgley and Dr Ruth Parry, who have expertise in video-based conversation analysis and in conducting studies in sensitive healthcare environments, and by Dr Joanne Cooper –an experienced health services researcher, who will play a key role in brokering relationships with potential nurse participants and champions, and with service and research leaders in the clinical field. In order to meet ESRC requirements for admission to a +3 funded PhD, applicants must hold or be in the process of completing a Masters in Research Methods or equivalent course. Candidates holding other Masters degrees without a majority research methods focus are unlikely to be eligible. The successful applicant will benefit from the Advanced Research Training opportunities offered by the Nottingham ESRC DTC and the wider DTC network. They will also benefit from established PhD support and training in the Schools of Health Sciences and Sociology and Social Policy, from being part of a vibrant community of PhD students engaged in conversation analytic projects and healthcare research projects, and from participation in regular conversation analytic data sessions at Nottingham and other local Universities. Prior experience of work within health or social care settings and/or exposure to the perspectives and methods of conversation analysis will be an advantage. Skills required in order to successfully conduct the research include: (1) the ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with people who are particularly vulnerable by nature of their need for healthcare and with busy healthcare practitioners and managers, (2) the ability to master a complex analytic approach grounded in social scientific and also linguistic concepts, which requires an eye for detail. The Studentship: Depending on residency eligibility, a full studentship covers home student tuition fees and provides a stipend of up to £14,553 per annum for the duration of the project (three years) – starting from October 2017. This is an excellent opportunity for a talented and enthusiastic Masters graduate in a healthcare or social science subject.

Following the exploration of presence (2016), body (2018) and sensorialities (2020), the IMPEC group proposes to address the theme "Screen-based interactions through the lense of space" for the 5th edition 2022. IMPEC 2022 will take place from July 6 to 8, 2022 in hybrid mode: at the ENS of Lyon and online We will have the pleasure of welcoming and listening to plenary speakers: • Virginie Privas Bréauté & Maud Ciekanski, University of Lorraine. https://perso.atilf.fr/vprivas/ / https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Maud-Ciekanski • Brian Due, University of Copenhagen https://nors.ku.dk/english/staff/?pure=en/persons/364698 • Eric Laurier, University of Edinburgh https://www.ericlaurier.co.uk/ • Marcello Vitalli Rosati, University of Montréal and Canada Research Chair in Digital Writing https://vitalirosati.com/ As we have seen in the context of the pandemic that has recently forced us to revisit our practices, whether physical, metaphorical or virtual, space is questioned by the use of screens. Whether from the point of view of the produced space or the processual space, in reception or in emission, in reconstruction or in deconstruction, for this 2022 edition of the IMPEC conference, we suggest reflecting around these 3 complementary themes, which can be seized by various disciplines and methodological protocols: • Spaces and uses: Regulating / Adapting / Living space • Spaces and territories: Investing / Occupying / Saturating space • Spaces and inventiveness: Building / Imagining / Increasing space The complete and detailed call for paper is available online (in French and English): https://impec.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/64 Modalities of submission We offer four modalities of submission: • Oral communications • Symposia • Workshops • Posters The details of these modalities are available here: https://impec.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/57 The deadline for online submission is October 1st, 2021.

Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis Dates: 3rd and 4th March 2025, 9am-2pm each day Coordinators: Michael Mair (Liverpool), Phil Brooker (Liverpool), Chis Elsey (De Montfort) 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. 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 interactional data collected as part of small-scale fieldwork exercises. 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. The foundational ethnomethodological contributions of Garfinkel and Sacks will be the primary focus. Location: University of Liverpool, in person.

Evidence for Claims about Sense-Making associated with Assessments The talk focuses on evidence that analysts may use to substantiate claims involving interactants’ shared assumptions, understandings, expectations, and reasoning – claims that people associate with cognition. Some conversation analysts steer clear of such claims and assertion about cognitive states, arguing that such claims cannot be substantiated with interactional conduct. While it is true that interactional conduct does not provide direct evidence about understandings, expectations, and reasoning, such processes are very much a part of what goes into interactional actions, sequences, and practices. Our analysis should recognize the place of sense-making in interactional conduct. In this talk, I focus on what may be used as credible evidence for interactants’ assumptions about disagreeing with a co-participant, praising oneself, and the relationships between accessing/experiencing a referent and assessing the referent.

ICCA2018 panel on experience reference + (Experience reference in social interaction …
Experience reference in social interaction This panel focuses on the social organization of reference to experience in interaction: how people refer to their own and others' personal experiences to accomplish social actions, and the constraints on interactional uses of one's own and others' experiences. Sacks contrasted the ways in which people make use of experience as opposed to knowledge: ...if I tell you something that you come to think is so, you are entitled to have it. And you take it that the stock of knowledge that you have is some- thing that you can get wherever you get it, and it is yours to keep. But the stock of experiences is an altogether differently constructed thing. As I say, in order to see that that is so, we can just, for example, differentiate how we deal with a piece of knowledge and how we deal with someone else's experience, and then come to see that experiences then get isolated, rather than that they are themselves as productive as are pieces of knowledge. (Sacks 1984:425) People treat others' experiences as owned by them (Perakyla and Silverman, 1991). At the simplest level, this means that people normally defer to others' right to define the quality of their subjective experience. However, there a many occasions in social life where people need to convey their understanding of others' experiences as grounds for what they are doing. In many situations, this entails the risk of defining the other's subjective experience on their behalf, and incurring in social sanctions for doing so. Empathy is a case in point. Heritage (2011) shows that recipients of troubles-tellings are recurrently faced with the task of displaying empathy to those teJNngs; this requires them to convey that they have some grasp or understanding of t he nature of the troublesteller's experience. However, in doing so they can go t oo far, and define the troubles-teller's experience on her/his behalf, which can attract negative sanctions. Speakers have practices to deal with this dilemma such as, for instance, referring t o parallel (i.e. "similar, but departicularized") experiences. Another example is t he case of challenging how someone feels or thinks about their own experience. Here too, speakers' problem is how to ground an action (in this case, a challenge) by displaying adequate understanding of the other's experience, whilst avoiding unwarranted claims about the nature of that experience. One solution is for speakers to comment upon their own experience in a way that conveys, only by implication, a challenge of the other's experience (Pino, 2017). These and other previous studies exemplify how the organisation of experience reference intersects, although is not reduced to, several domains of conversation analytic inquiry, including epistemics, emotion in interaction, affiliation, story-telling, assessments, and person reference. Building on previous studies, the panel aims t o explore the organisation of reference to personal experience in social interaction; actions that speakers convey by mentioning their experiences, as well as actions that embed references to one's own or others' experiences as part of their internal machinery; and the constraints and affordances bearing upon reference to experience across ordinary and institutional settings.

The conference celebrates the final year of the CoE by presenting the state of the art in research on intersubjectivity in interaction and by pointing out future directions in the field. Possible themes include different kinds of linguistic, embodied and multimodal practices in achieving and maintaining intersubjectivity, intersubjective understanding in constructing and interpreting sequences of action as well as the interface of emotion and intersubjectivity. We welcome both empirical and theoretical presentations, as long as they have a clear focus on social interaction. Similarly, while our main theoretical and methodological framework is conversation analysis, we also welcome presentations that adopt other approaches, including, for example, interactional linguistics, construction grammar, gesture studies and psychophysiology.

Friday, February 1, 2019 1:30-3:30pm Education 1205 “Category Accounts: Identity and Normativity in Sequences of Action” Chase Wesley Raymond Department of Linguistics, University of Colorado, Boulder This study investigates the sequentially occasioned provision of what I term ‘category accounts’ in interaction. Category accounts tap into and make use of normative assumptions about identities and membership categories in order to explain away moments of what the participants view as category deviance. To introduce this concept, I focus on sequences in which speakers’ initiations of repair (e.g., Huh?) are oriented to as indicative of a problem of understanding. In the cases examined here, recipients of such initiations of repair treat divergence from some gender/sexuality norm as the source of the misunderstanding, which is revealed through their attempt to resolve the trouble by providing a category account, thereby closing the repair sequence and providing for the resumption of progressivity. These and similar accounting sequences are thus a means through which participants collaboratively normalize momentary departures from normativity, while at the same time reconstituting what exactly constitutes ‘normativity’ and ‘departures therefrom’, and for whom. Chase Wesley Raymond holds PhDs in Hispanic Linguistics (2014) and Sociology (2016), both from UCLA, and is currently Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His research interests lie at the intersection of language and (different facets of) social identity and normativity, in both ordinary and institutional interaction. Recent and forthcoming publications include articles in Language, Research on Language & Social Interaction, Language in Society, and the Journal of Sociolinguistics.

Fully funded PhD studentship (UK Home students) based at Manchester Metropolitan University Supervisors: Professor Alison Pilnick (MMU), Dr Rebecca O’Brien (Notts Healthcare Trust), Dr Sarah Campbell (MMU) ‘Too much touch?’: Enabling a better understanding of the use of touch in dementia care. Healthcare practitioners (doctors, nurses, therapists, their assistants and students) regularly touch patients with dementia when delivering healthcare. A distinction has been made in the healthcare literature between ‘necessary’ touch (for example dressing a wound or examining a patient) and ‘non-necessary’ touch (for example holding a patient’s hand or putting a hand on their shoulder). Whist this ‘non-necessary’ touch occurs regularly in dementia care, it is less commonly seen in other healthcare settings. However, the distinction between ‘necessary’ and ‘unnecessary’ touch may be an oversimplification as we do not understand what interactional purpose touch serves in this context. This project will use the sociological method of conversation analysis to examine the use of touch as it occurs between patients and staff on acute Healthcare of the Older Person hospital wards. Analysis will begin with an existing corpus of video recorded data, but the successful candidate will also collect and analyse new data to supplement this. The project aims to provide a more detailed contribution to the empirical basis for delivering dementia care; and to develop a training resource for staff grounded in this empirical research. Start date: October 2025. Fees plus an annual stipend will be paid at the UKRI rate (£19,237 for 2024-25, subject to a small annual uplift).

Ehess Garfinkel studies of work program + (Garfinkel’s studies of work program – by M …
Garfinkel’s studies of work program – by Michael Lynch In the early 1970s, Harold Garfinkel launched a research program that would focus on work. Such work was not limited to on-the-job performances in specific occupations or professions. Although it included labor practices associated with particular organizations and occupations, it also encompassed the work of driving in traffic, queuing for a service, and other everyday practices. “Work” thus was salient in at least two ways: first, as a reference to occupational, professional, and organized recreational activities, and second as a reference to the practical accomplishment of a broad range of what Garfinkel called “naturally organized ordinary activities.” This presentation focuses on both aspects of such studies of work: the study of specialized organizational activities and the study of everyday activities. In addition to reviewing the studies of work program and tracing its influence in fields such as science and technology studies (STS) and computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), the presentation focuses on distinctive themes, such as “the unique adequacy requirement of methods” and the constitutive role of “instructed actions” in the production of social order. Finally, it discusses practical and professional implications of Garfinkel’s proposal for the development of “hybrid” fields that would integrate ethnomethodology with the practices studied.

Dr. Stuart Reeves - Studying Human-Computer Interaction with Video (online) + (Human-computer interaction (HCI) is an eve …
Human-computer interaction (HCI) is an ever-more pervasive phenomenon. In fact, avoiding any kind of interaction with digital technologies has become a purposeful and quite challenging act in many modern societies. In this way HCI has the potential for widespread relevance considerably beyond its initial disciplinary origins stemming largely from university computer science and psychology departments. Simultaneously, approaches from the human sciences (and arts and humanities) have pushed well into HCI’s mainstream. One approach that has had significant formative impact in HCI is, broadly, sociological interactionism; that is, understanding interaction with / around digital technologies, infrastructures and services as constitutively interactional in nature. This course will explore one formative strand of interactionism: video-based studies of social interaction with / around digital technologies (e.g., in everyday life), informed by traditions of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. The course will contextualise video analysis both in terms of human-computer interaction as everyday, routine phenomena, and with respect to HCI as a field (and its connections with both technical and sociotechnical fields of research). By looking at video analysis through the lens of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, coupled with a perspective on the disciplinary challenges such work potentially faces, this course will provide a broad introduction to doing studies in this form: how they can be conceived of and what outcomes they might produce. '''The course covers:''' *Scoping human-computer interactions (HCI) and collaborative computing as phenomena *Scoping HCI as ‘discipline’: Methods, approaches, disciplinarity *Social turns and the ‘missing what’: critical review of traditions of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis in / of HCI *Video as aid: Why study human-computer interactional phenomena with video? *Getting things done: Practicalities of video-based studies of digital technologies and infrastructures *“So what?” Formulating outcomes in / of HCI *The future: EMCA and the future of HCI discourses '''By the end of the course participants will:''' *Be familiar with the nature of human-computer interactional phenomena and matters of HCI research disciplinarity *Be aware of the basic ideas driving EMCA and correspondingly the use of video as a tool for this research approach, including an appreciation for the various caveats and inherent problems (as well as practical challenges and disciplinary ones with respect to HCI research) *Understand what is involved in examining video recordings of human-computer interaction and unpacking how interaction unfolds (and its significance for designers) *Be familiar with some basic transcription techniques and their use in unpacking video recordings of interactions with / around digital technologies For the two-day breakdown of activities and to register: https://store.southampton.ac.uk/short-courses/school-of-economic-social-and-political-sciences/national-centre-for-research-methods/studying-humancomputer-interaction-with-video-online

More broadly, the meeting may engage with “practical or applied research” that is “done by outsiders who are also insiders” (Rawls 2002: 40), be it current ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (EM/CA) or related fields (e.g., media studies, human–computer interaction, science and technology studies). Keeping hybridity at the centre of discussion, we encourage and welcome contributions from researchers across EM/CA and related fields who are interested and involved in studies of practical action and practical reasoning in “naturally organized ordinary activities,” “studies of work” and “the workplace,” studies of “talk-in-interaction,” and their relationships, and/or their contribution(s) to the development, testing, deployment, or critique of communicative and other technologies.

ICCAP 2019 – 9th International Conference for Conversation Analysis and Psychotherapy We invite conversation analysts and psychotherapists to participate in the conference “Talking & Cure – A Binocular View on Psychotherapeutic Interaction”. “Talking Cure” is the term invented by one of Freud’s earliest patients. In recent years the scope of this term has become increasingly apparent: after all, talking happens in psychotherapies of all kinds! From a CAperspective, it is “talk-in-interaction”. Terms like “intervention” - widely used in psychotherapeutic circles - do not have an “effect” unless the conversational environment is prepared – by talk. But what is it that cures? How does it come about that sometimes after a good conversation another view on difficult problems emerges, another cognition results from this talk? Conversation Analysts and Psychotherapists are invited to present papers in panels, to come together to discuss subtle problems, to present stimulating material, to examine methods of study, and to compare theoretically diverging approaches. Looking at what cures from the interactional and from the psychotherapeutic perspectives will help us to take home a binocular view of the therapeutic endeavour.

Our aim is to bring together contemporary empirical research that looks at how the senses are used in interaction, showcasing the broad range of concepts and methodologies through which they can be examined. In the past decade or so interactionist researchers have been increasingly interested in the role of the senses in social interaction (see e.g., Vannini, Waskul and Gottschalk 2012). A special issue of the journal Symbolic Interaction in 2021 brought together studies that examined sensorial practice, focusing on diverse areas including everyday acts such as cheese and coffee tasting (Mondada, 2021; Fele and Liberman, 2021) through to the professional work of nurses (Grosjean, Matte, and Nahon-Serfaty, 2021) and race car testers (Salvadori and Gobo). These collected papers marked an important development in the empirical examination of communication about the senses, showing how talk, gesture, gaze, material artefacts and other aspects of the physical environment can be mobilised to make the senses accountable to others. The introduction to this special issue (vom Lehn and Gibson, 2021) pointed to several interrelated features of sensorial praxis which the papers helped to bring into focus. The intersection between different sensorial experiences; the entwinement of the senses with cultural resources and practices; their contextually situated nature and the multimodal, structured but also serendipitous form of expression. The proposed volume aims to continue these lines of analysis by inviting contributions from a multiplicity of approaches, including symbolic interactionism, ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis, and cognate areas from Discourse Studies and multimodal inquiry. To balance the strong EMCA theme represented in the 2021 special issue we are particularly keen to encourage papers from symbolic interactionism or that use ethnographic methods. We are interested in papers that examine conceptually and empirically the uses of the senses in ‘making something happen’, which might be in an institutional or non-institutional context. We welcome tentative expressions of interest and are happy to explore the fit of possible research papers with the above theme. An abstract of no more than 400 words should be submitted by email to Will Gibson, Natalia Ruiz-Junco, and Dirk vom Lehn (SensesInteractionism@gmail.com) by 2 May 2023.

IPrA 2017: Poetics, the “Wild” Side of CA: Twenty Years after Jefferson + (IPrA 2017: Poetics, the “Wild” Side of CA: …
IPrA 2017: Poetics, the “Wild” Side of CA: Twenty Years after Jefferson Panel organizer: Raymond F. Person, Jr. (r-person@onu.edu) In her 1996 article “On the Poetics of Ordinary Talk,” Gail Jefferson described a second-order set of practices that influence turn construction, especially concerning word selection by sound-triggering and category-triggering. Although her published article was a revision of a 1977 conference paper, she still considered “poetics” as “the wild side of Conversation Analysis” and as something that probably should not be taken as seriously as other CA observations, because it was “stuff which we’d pretty much kept to ourselves and played with as a hobby” (1996:2). Probably because of this description, there have been few CA studies focused on “poetics” (for an exception, see Woffitt and Holt 2011). Nevertheless, Jefferson’s insights are widely accepted in the secondary literature. Arguably, however, the importance of “poetics” in CA should be reevaluated because of the growing sophistication in the study of prosody in talk-in-interaction as well as increasing interest in the role of epistemics (Heritage 2012a, 2012b). Furthermore, some recent studies of “poetics” and “conversation” have not engaged in a sufficient discussion of Jefferson’s work (for example, Norrick 2002; Bowles 2011; Kataoka 2012). Therefore, a reassessment of “poetics” may be timely twenty years after the publication of Jefferson’s article. The proposed panel will critically assess “poetics” as described by Jefferson by soliciting papers that contribute to the discussion of at least one of the following: (1) bringing new data from naturally occurring talk to bear on “poetics,” including from languages other than English, (2) applying CA to literature (including folklore and oral traditions) as a form of institutional talk adapted from the “poetics” of “ordinary talk” (for example, Person 2016) and (3) exploring the implications of CA “poetics” on cognition. The proposed panel seeks to bring together scholars of conversation analysis, literature, and cognitive studies to discuss the importance of Jefferson’s work on the poetics of ordinary talk-in-interaction in their respective fields.

PhD studentship "Identity work in palliative care" (Loughborough University) + (Identity work in palliative care: A Conver …
Identity work in palliative care: A Conversation Analytic study of interactions with newly diagnosed patients ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship Loughborough University and Treetops Hospice The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). One of 15 such partnerships in the UK, the Midlands Graduate School, is a collaboration between the Universities of Warwick, Birmingham, Nottingham, Aston Leicester, Loughborough, De Montfort and Nottingham Trent. Loughborough University as part of Midlands Graduate School is now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partner Treetops Hospice to commence in October 2025. The candidate will be based in the Department of Communication and Media at Loughborough University (UK) and will be supervised by Dr Marco Pino and Prof Elizabeth Peel. The project involves conversation analytic research in collaboration with Treetops Hospice (Derby, UK) where the candidate will be supervised by Sharan Harris-Christensen, manager of the Treetops Hospice Education & Development Team. Treetops Hospice is an independent third-sector organisation delivering palliative care services to the local community. The candidate will work with Harris-Christensen and the staff of the Treetops Hospice Wellbeing Café. The candidate will video-record drop-in information sessions run by registered nurses, occupational therapists, support and information practitioners, and volunteers for newly diagnosed patients and their families. The aim will be to investigate, using conversation analysis methods, interactional practices that the staff use to help patients maintain a positive identity as competent and autonomous individuals after a diagnosis of life-limiting illness. The significance of the project is readily available when considering how a diagnosis of incurable progressive illness, alongside a reduction in functional capacities for daily living, can negatively affect a patient’s identity. We are interested in the ways interactions with healthcare practitioners can support patients in retaining a positive identity, dignity, and “normality in an otherwise changed reality” (Bye, 1998, p. 12). The project will leverage the distinctive approach of conversation analysis by investigating identity as a practical achievement of participants’ actions in interaction. With support from the supervisory team, the candidate will use conversation analysis methods to examine interactions video-recorded at the Wellbeing Café to identify challenges that patients face in maintaining a positive identity in interaction; identify interactional practices that the staff use to support patients in negotiating a positive identity; and draw implications for social scientific understandings of identity construction after a diagnosis of incurable illness. The project will include qualitative interviews with patients and staff. The supervisory team have extensive experience of using conversation analysis in video-based studies of interactions in healthcare and social-care settings, including palliative and end-of-life care (please refer to our staff pages for our publications: Pino and Peel). The project will give the candidate solid grounding in social interaction research. They will participate in a thriving research community within the Discourse & Rhetoric Group (DARG), a world-leading research group in language and social interaction. At Treetops Hospice, the candidate will develop transferable skills relevant to the translation of research findings into training and policy recommendations for the healthcare sector. Harris-Christensen is an experienced communication trainer with nursing background, who will co-supervise the candidate and expose them to Treetops Hospice’s extensive work in the design and delivery of communication skills training for practitioners. We especially welcome applications from candidates with familiarity and experience with using conversation analysis, although this is not necessary to apply for the studentship.

The goal of the project is to investigate the multimodal dimension of pronominal person reference and to systematically describe how it is used in interactional situations with a complex participation framework. It starts from the basic assumption that communicative and social practices in face-to-face situations are organized in a multimodal manner, so that linguistic phenomena – here: pronominal person reference – are embedded in a dynamic interplay of different communicational resources. Verbal language, gaze, gesture, bodily orientation, mobility together form „complex communicative gestalts" (Mondada 2014:140) which emerge dynamically in the course of the interaction, are configured and re-configured. Within the idea of multimodal grammar-in-interaction empirical investigations of the multimodal organization and use of personal pronouns and ensuing conceptualizations constitute a desideratum. Based on a corpus of video and eyetracking data of complex training situations of emergencies, the project adresses the following questions: (1) Which interactional dynamics and regularities can be found in the interplay of verbal and embodied communicational resources when referring to persons by using personal pronouns? (2) How can pronominal person reference be conceptualized as a complex, sequential and interactionally organized „communicative gestalt"? Is there a functional separation of tasks between verbal and embodied communicational resources? (3) Which influence have interactivity, a dynamic participation framework, orientation to the addressee, mobility, orientation in space, and stance taking have on the practice of pronominal person reference? (4) What does it mean for a concept of pronominal reference when, on the verbal level, the pronoun does not occur and referring is realized by gaze and bodily resources solely? (5) How does person reference change depending on the ways in which participants are institutionally categorized (severeness of injury, death, addressability, functional role and which implications ensue from this? The project aims at the following results: (1) Empirically: Systematic reconstruction of pronominal person reference as a multimodal gestalt and its sequential position investigating the function of different modalities and the role of interactivity, mobility and participation framework. (2) Methodologically: Linking qualitative micro-analytic case studies with a corpus linguistic approach.(3) Conceptually: Contribution to further developing the idea of multimodal grammar-in-interaction and developing a multimodal approach to pronominal person reference and to the discussion of the status of „embodiment" within grammar.

In this summer school, we will bring together the methodological expertise from the University of Groningen, as well as national and international colleagues, providing you with the opportunity to learn about different approaches and methods used within the paradigm of educational interactions. Building on a unique combination of different disciplinary perspectives, this summer school will appeal to students and early career researchers with an interest, and potentially data, in interaction and learning; it will also welcome applicants without any previous training in the subject, who are interested in exploring classroom interaction as a subject for the continuation of their academic career. Learning, inside and outside schools, happens in interaction between children and their teachers, parents, and peers. It takes human interaction to learn to talk, to do math, to collaborate and to learn autonomously. Research on educational interactions has grown tremendously in the past decade. It reveals important insights for educational improvement. This summer school will offer a broad range of methods to capture and analyse classroom interactions.

Tweet: https://x.com/icca2026
Details: We are excited to announce the upcoming International Conference on Conversation Analysis (ICCA) on June 26-29, 2026, at University of Alberta, Canada, with pre-conference workshops June 23-25. The theme of the conference is: '''Diversities, Language, Interaction.''' Diverse cultures, languages, worldviews, and human experiences characterize the world that we live in. Diversities reflect the multitude of domains related to us and our lives, such as language, culture, gender, ethnicity, and age. Diversity is a lens through which we gain insights into the various perspectives and experiences that shape us and our world. By acknowledging and studying diversities in interaction, we open our research and ourselves to a wealth of knowledge that broadens our understanding of ourselves and the world around us and creates positive social change. Thus, diversity is a force fueling innovation and progress. The theme of ICCA2026—Diversities, Language, Interaction—highlights the multiplicity of diversities and brings a diversity lens to our research on language and interaction. ICCA2026 welcomes papers that contribute to our understanding of diversities, language, and interaction through addressing the following aspects, among others: * Diversity in languages * Diversity in types of interactions * Diversity in data * Diversity in tools, technologies, and methods * Diversity in research approaches and research perspectives * Diversity in modalities * Diversity in identities * Diversity in experiences ICCA2026 invites the following types of submissions: panels, individual papers, and posters. All abstracts must follow the instructions listed below and be submitted online via the Abstract Submission Portal linked below. The submission deadline is June 30, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Mountain Time/Edmonton local time).

International Journal of Sport Communication Call for Papers Special Issue: Social Media and Sport Communication: Reflections & Opportunities Publication Issue: 16(3)—September 2023 Guest Editors: Gashaw Abeza, Towson University, and Jimmy Sanderson, Texas Tech University Submission deadline: January 15, 2023 ============================================== In 2012, the International Journal of Sport Communication published a special issue on Twitter and its influence on sport communication/media. At that time, Twitter and other social media platforms were arguably quite nascent in sport, and in the ensuing decade, social media platforms have grown exponentially and become standard operating procedure for sport organizations, athletes, sport media personnel, and sport fans, among others. Additionally, in 2018, another special issue of IJSC was published that examined contemporary issues with social media in sport. As social media has grown and become normalized across diverse sport contexts, it continues to exert considerable force, both positive and negative, for a variety of sport stakeholders. The past decade also has seen a rise in social media and sport scholarship. Accordingly, the aim of this special issue is to provide a holistic overview on where sport and social media research has been (reflections) and where it may be headed in the future.
