|Announcement text=Particles in Interaction (2-4 June 2027) at University of Oslo, abstracts due 1 December 2026

This conference welcomes papers that take an interactional approach to particles in talk-in-interaction by analyzing recordings of social interaction. By particles we mean small uninflected lexical items such as interjections, modal particles and fixed multi-word expressions which do not contribute to the propositional content of an utterance but instead have interactional and discursive functions. They are used for such things as regulating the interaction, expressing the speaker’s stance, and marking coherence relations between utterances. In actual conversations, such functions may also be carried out by other ‘minimal resources’, such as non-lexical vocalizations, gestures and facial expressions, or by combinations of lexical and non-lexical resources. The conference thus also welcomes contributions that focus on embodied practices that may be used for the same types of action, or combinations of particles and non-lexical resources in multimodal gestalts.

CLDI

2026-02-04T06:18:35Z

ElliottHoey:

'''''The Corpus of Language Discrimination in Interaction'' (CLDI)''' is an online, open-access, transcribed corpus of video data for use in research, teaching, and community engagement. The project is organized by '''[http://www.chasewesleyraymond.com Chase Wesley Raymond]''' (University of Colorado, Boulder), in collaboration with '''[https://saulalbert.net Saul Albert]''' (Loughborough University) and '''[https://sites.google.com/site/elliotthoey/ Elliott M. Hoey]''' (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), working together with students and colleagues from around the world.

The interactions in the CLDI—comprised of videos drawn primarily from private citizens’ cell phones and footage from institutional security cameras—show individuals being policed in some way for the language they are speaking or otherwise endorsing while sharing public space (e.g. at a store or restaurant, in a public park or parking lot). While estimates as to the contemporary prevalence of these sorts of confrontations vary, in her seminal work on Puerto Rican Spanish speakers living in New York, for instance, Bonnie Urciuoli pointedly noted: "''Nearly every Spanish-speaking bilingual I know''…has experienced complaints about using Spanish in a public place" ([https://www.waveland.com/browse.php?t=622 1996]:35, our emphasis, see also [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781444304732 Hill 1998]). Such interactions constitute concrete, identifiable occurrences of a specific genre of language discrimination and policing in quotidian social life—one that has been reported to be on the rise in communities across the globe, not infrequently accompanied by other overt acts of verbal, emotional, physical, and racialized violence (e.g. [https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/how-language-differences-can-spark-fear-racism-amid-the-coronavirus-pandemic Dubinsky, et al. 2020]; [https://theconversation.com/you-cant-even-talk-english-so-dont-talk-how-linguistic-racism-impacts-immigrants-in-the-uk-182173 Rasool & Makuve 2022]; [https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2019/03/04/spanish-hate-crime-oscars-roberto-rey-agudo Rey Agudo 2019]).

The CLDI therefore aims to offer a close-up look at what are very real experiences for many members of society as they use language in public spaces. These are emotionally laden, overtly derogatory and racist, and even physically violent altercations, which unfold not in political debate halls or through written legislation, but rather as individuals are in their daily place of employment (e.g. [[CLDI 011|CLDI_011]], [[CLDI 020|CLDI_020]], [[CLDI 022|CLDI_022]]) or out for a drive (e.g. [[CLDI 029|CLDI_029]], [[CLDI 047|CLDI_047]]), as families are shopping for goods and services (e.g. [[CLDI 007|CLDI_007]], [[CLDI 014|CLDI_014]], [[CLDI 046|CLDI_046]], [[CLDI 060|CLDI_060]]) or dining together at a restaurant (e.g. [[CLDI 003|CLDI_003]], [[CLDI 059|CLDI_059]]), and as folks take buses and trains (e.g. [[CLDI 013|CLDI_013]], [[CLDI 077|CLDI_077]]) or listen to music in the park (e.g. [[CLDI 049|CLDI_049]]). This is language policymaking and enforcement in situ, in everyday public social life, and these participants—Challengers, Targets, and Bystanders, ‘regular’, ‘nonspecialist’ members of society—are the de facto policymakers, enforcers, combatants, and casualties of its occurrence. Assembling such encounters together into a corpus allows us to examine real forms of policing repeatedly and critically as they are produced and dealt with by real people, in real situations, and in real time.

|Full title=New MA at Bielefeld
|Short title=BielefeldMA
|Short summary=New English-language MA program at Bielefeld University offering CA. Deadline for international students Jan 15
|Announcement text=The Department of Linguistics at Bielefeld University (Germany) is pleased to announce a new international Master’s program, taught entirely in English, starting in April 2026.

We welcome applications and inquiries from prospective students in Germany and around the world.

The MA in Linguistics at Bielefeld University offers a solid and broad foundation, followed by specialization in the areas that most interest you. We offer seven different profiles: Communication, Computational Linguistics, General Linguistics, Laboratory Phonology and Experimental
Phonetics, Neurolinguistics, Psycholinguistics, and Theoretical Aspects of Clinical Linguistics.

Bielefeld University is a campus university with many excellent resources to support you in organizing your studies and navigating student life, including a student service center, an international office, family services, workshops on overcoming academic challenges and discovering personal strengths, and counseling on study financing as well as physical and mental health. As of 2026, the enrollment fee at Bielefeld University is EUR 333 per semester. This fee not only covers your tuition, but also provides Germany-wide travel on public transportation, as well as a range of subsidies.

The MA in Linguistics is designed as a two-year program (4 semesters) with a workload of 120 ECTS credits. As students typically choose to begin in the winter semester, the program is oriented toward an October start. However, starting in April is also possible. Assuming an October start, the first semester focuses primarily on building core knowledge and skills. In the second and third semester, students specialize in one of the profiles offered by the program. In the fourth semester, students carry out independent research and write a Master's thesis on a topic of their choosing.

The language of instruction is English. To be eligible to apply, students must hold a BA degree with a substantial focus on linguistics, as well as English language proficiency equivalent to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (corresponding to an IELTS band score of 5.5.–6.5).

Application deadlines are January 15 for starting in April, and July 15 for starting in October.

For more information about the program and its individual specializations, please visit our webpages:

Where to study EMCA

2025-12-30T17:51:30Z

ElliottHoey:

This list is made up of universities with multiple EM/CA faculty members and courses. This isn't a requirement of studying EMCA, of course, one faculty member will do - but where there's a group of analysts, there's more likelihood of data sessions and expanded resources for learning to do analysis.

NB: where there are Ph.D granting institutions with at least one potential faculty advisor, also add the department.

Repair Mechanisms in (speech-involving) Human-Robot Interaction

Robotics Research Group
Centre for AI and Robotics Research
School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science
University of Hertfordshire, UK

Contact: Frank Foerster (f.foerster at herts.ac.uk)

============

Shortlisting will start on 14th November 2025 (application before this date is strongly encouraged)

Bursary £20,700 p.a.

We invite applications for a PhD studentship at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, under the supervision of Dr. Frank Foerster in the area of conversational human-robot interaction. We are particularly interested in pursuing research that connects to the following topic, but alternative ideas will be considered too.

'''Research Topic'''

Repair Mechanisms in (speech-involving) Human-Robot Interaction

More information including relevant papers are provided in [https://www.herts.ac.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/355089/Machine-learning-for-HRI.pdf this PDF]

'''Person Profile'''

You will have an excellent first degree and a very keen interest and motivation in human-machine interaction in general, and communicative interaction in particular. Optimally, you should have an excellent background in Computer Science, Computational/Cognitive Robotics, (computational) linguistics, artificial intelligence, or similar disciplines with a considerable quantitative/computational component.

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the topic we will also consider applicants with a background in psychology, philosophy, or pragmatics as long as they have some experience in programming, machine learning, or dialogue systems. Prior experience with topics such as reinforcement learning, or statistical learning more generally is highly desirable, but not essential if the quantitative background is otherwise very strong. The knowledge of later Wittgenstein is a big plus.

If you have questions, have alternative suggestions for a related, but distinct topic, and/or are generally interested in applying, please contact Dr. Frank Foerster (f.foerster at herts.ac.uk)

'''About the research environment'''

Research in Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire has been recognised as excellent by the latest Research Assessment Exercise, with 90% of the research submitted being rated as internationally excellent or world-leading.

The University of Hertfordshire provides a very stimulating environment, offering a large number of specialised and interdisciplinary seminars as well as general training and researcher development opportunities. The University is situated in Hatfield, in the green belt just north of London. Hatfield is close to Central London (less than 25 minutes by direct train to Kings Cross), with convenient access to Stansted, Luton and Heathrow airports, and, via the nearby historic town of St. Albans, also to Gatwick airport.

Application forms and submission instructions are available under https://www.herts.ac.uk/study/schools-of-study/physics-engineering-and-computer-science/engineering-and-computer-science/research-in-engineering-and-computer-science/the-phd-programme-in-computer-science

== Overview ==

'''[https://emcawiki.net/Category:Term A full alphabetical listing of terms currently included in the ''Encyclopedia'' can be found here]'''

The '''''Encyclopedia of Terminology for Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics''''' is an online resource for students and scholars of CA/IL, publicly available on the EMCA Wiki page. Encyclopedias and glossaries are widespread across various fields and methods, and serve as immensely valuable resources. Given the extent to which the EMCA/IL community has expanded over the years—both terminologically as well as geographically—we hope that this encyclopedia of terminology will be well received by students and practitioners of CA and IL across the globe.

While prototypical ‘glossaries’ usually contain a simple alphabetical list of terms from a particular research area, and provide readers with short definitions of these terms (e.g., '''''[https://glossary.sil.org/term The SIL Glossary of Linguistic Terms]'''''), ‘encyclopedias’ contain a summary, or a theoretical overview of specific concepts, or topics from a particular research field, or discipline (see, e.g., '''''[https://plato.stanford.edu/contents.html The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy]'''''). Our Encyclopedia is in fact a bit of a hybrid between these two formats. On the one hand, there are entries on terms/phenomena/notions that are clearly and simply defined in the literature (e.g., '''[[Show concession]]''', Antaki & Wetherell 1999); such entries typically contain a short definition, description, and often a brief extract to illustrate the phenomenon. On the other hand, however, there are several other terms/phenomena/concepts that are much more complicated to explicate. This may be due to the intrinsic complexity or multidimensionality of the specific term in question, and/or due to there being a wide range of relevant lines of research to highlight, in which case more of a presentation of the ‘state of the art’ is incorporated into the entry (e.g., '''[[Assessment]]'''). On this point, authors have aimed for ‘neutrality’ in their overviews: If some scholars use a term in one sense, and others use it in a slightly different sense, the aim is for both of these (and their citations) to be included in the entry.

An important feature of the online nature of the Encyclopedia is the interlinking between entries for different terms. So the entry for '''[[Turn-taking]]''' will have embedded links to other relevant terms (e.g., '''[[Turn allocation]]''', '''[[Turn-constructional unit (TCU)]]''', '''[[Transition-relevance place (TRP)]]''', etc.). Relevant bibliographic information is found at the end of each entry as well, including an automatically generated list of references available in the EMCA Wiki that use the term; this list will continue to update automatically as new publications are added to the EMCA Wiki.

It is crucial to clarify that, with this project, we do not mean to present CA/IL as an overly terminological enterprise. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: We don’t want CA/IL’s terminology to be a barrier to students’ and researchers’ participation in the field. The aim here is to be more open and transparent about the terminology we use, and why we use it, and to provide a place where such information can be easily located. Moreover, the entries are indeed summaries, and as such they should serve as a starting-off point for further exploration, navigation of relevant literature, developing of research questions, etc. We hope this resource will be useful for both novices and advanced practitioners alike.

|Short title=IADA2026
|Short summary=CFP: International Association for Dialogue Analysis Conference (Jyväskylä, Finland, 11-13 May 2026). Deadline 17-Nov-2025
|Announcement text=The 2026 Conference of the International Association for Dialogue Analysis (IADA) will be held in Jyväskylä, Finland, on May 11-13, 2026, and will be hosted by the Department of Language and Communication Studies of the University of Jyväskylä. The conference will focus on the dynamic interconnections between dialogic processes and materiality in shaping societal and organizational phenomena.

Several ongoing global developments, such as the climate crisis, pandemics, growing inequalities, and the proliferation of algorithmic technologies, challenge students, researchers, scholars, and educators to rethink the relationships between humans and their material environments. These developments raise fundamental questions that go to the heart of how we understand the nature of, for example, knowledge, interaction, power, and politics. They call us to overcome disciplinary polarization and contribute to new theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches that can serve as a basis for addressing the pressing issues of our time.

Following the so-called ‘material turn’, a growing number of scholars in the human and social sciences recognize the deep entanglement of societal and organizational phenomena with materiality. This turn has recognized that material environments are not only about physical artifacts, but also about social and affective factors that both shape and are shaped by processes such as language, communication, and culture (Kuhn, Ashcraft & Cooren, 2017; Neville, Haddington, Heinemann & Rauniomaa, 2014; Pietikäinen, 2024; Streeck, Goodwin & LeBaron, 2011). To explore this interplay, scholars have developed and drawn upon a variety of theoretical positions, including actor-network theory (Latour, 2005), vital materialism (Bennett, 2007), agential realism (Barad, 2007), posthumanism (Braidotti, 2013), and the assemblage/agencement approach (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987). What these positions have in common is that they seek to overcome traditional dichotomies such as nature/culture, mind/matter, and human/non-human.

This conference follows and seeks to enrich this general interdisciplinary trajectory. In keeping with IADA’s general focus on language as dialogue, it welcomes contributions on a wide range of topics and perspectives related to language use (e.g., conversation, discourse, and social interaction) that can help us better understand the dynamic interconnections between dialogic processes and materiality in shaping various societal and organizational phenomena. While much dialogue-related research has focused on human actors, it increasingly recognizes their mutual interconnectedness with materiality. This is evident already in Bakhtin’s words, which do not reduce dialogue to a purely human concern: “I hear voices in everything and dialogic relations among them” (Bakhtin, 1986, p. 169, emphasis in original). More recently, developments in domains such as multimodal conversation analysis (Mondada, 2019), digital discourse studies (Jones, 2020), and the constitutive view of communication (Ashcraft, Kuhn & Cooren, 2009; Cooren, 2006) have helped us to explore materiality in dialogic processes in different empirical contexts.

The conference welcomes empirical, theoretical, and methodological papers from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Potential questions papers may address include, but are not limited to, the following:

* How can we study and theorize the embodied (e.g., voice, gesture), physical, and environmental features of dialogue?
* How do dialogues with materiality transform social narratives, organizational forms, and/or personal identities?
* How do emerging technologies (e.g., algorithms, platforms) and ecological considerations challenge traditional understandings of materiality in dialogic practices?
* How do material ecologies of contemporary production and consumption shape and orient social action?
* What methodologies are needed to explore the material and affective registers of dialogic processes when they are understood as ‘pre-linguistic’ and ‘non-representational’?
* How are societal and organizational phenomena materialized in and through material-discursive practices?
* How do spaces, places, and atmospheres constitute and are constituted by dialogical action?
* What ethical and political questions arise from the study of materiality in dialogical practices?

Submit your abstract (max. 400 words including potential references) by 17 November 2025. The language of the conference is English.

|Short summary=Summer school on Longitudinal CA, 11-15 May 2026 in Lesbos, with Clayman, Deppermann, and Haddington. Program limited to 25 participants
|Announcement text=Summer school 2026 "Longitudinal Conversation Analysis: Empirical insights and methodological challenges"

The 2026 Summer School not to be missed, on Lesbos in Greece, at the magnificent Metochi Monastery

We humans are fundamentally social beings: We rely on mutually understandable ways of interacting with each other to establish intercomprehension and to coordinate our respective actions in diverse social settings, ranging from dinner-table conversations to workplace interactions. We do so based on socio-culturally elaborated and shared 'methods' (Garfinkel 1964) – that is: systematic procedures for accomplishing social actions and coordinating these with others: methods for opening or closing conversations, for taking turns-at-talk, for displaying disagreement, etc. The sharedness of such methods among members of a given community is axiological to the building of mutual understanding and, ultimately, of social order. But how do members develop such methods and related resources and practices? How do they adapt them over time, over repeated social encounters and interactional experiences, or as part of socio-cultural change?

This summer school addresses these questions from a micro-level perspective focused on the detailed analysis of people’s situated interactional conduct as observable in (video)-recorded longitudinal data and fine-grained transcripts of such data. While change in human conduct is at the core of many lines of research, ranging from psychological investigations of child development, through linguistic research on historical language change, to sociological studies on (macro)societal change, the micro-level details of change over time in people’s contextualized interactional practices have only recently started to be explored in systematic ways (for earlier exceptions see Wootton 1997 and Clayman & Heritage 2002). This line of research is currently attracting growing interest within an interdisciplinary field that has materialized under the label of longitudinal Conversation Analysis (short: longitudinal CA; see the papers in Pekarek Doehler, Wagner & González-Martínez 2018 and Pekarek Doehler & Deppermann 2021).

Bringing together (early career) researchers and renowned international experts from diverse fields (linguistics, sociology, education, communication…), the summer school sets out to advance our understanding of a range of interrelated dimensions of change in people’s interactional practices and resources. These include how people change their interactional conduct as they learn a first or second language or navigate a new professional context, how people adapt their mutual conduct based on increased familiarity with each other and growing shared knowledge, and how whole communities of practice (e.g., members of a given institution) change their communicative patterns across decades.

The summer school puts a special emphasis on the methodological challenges related to conducting longitudinal Conversation Analysis – from data collection, through the establishment of collections to data analysis and interpretation of results. The event comprises plenary lectures and hands-on training sessions led by our invited speakers, work-in-progress presentations by PhD students, post-docs, and other interested researchers, as well as time for group-work sessions and social gatherings.

The workshop will accommodate 25 participants and 5 plenary speakers, giving priority to early career researchers from diverse countries and linguistic backgrounds. The program will run from Monday morning, 11 May 2026, to Friday afternoon, 15 May 2026, with one afternoon allocated to a joint excursion. Registration comprises lodging and food from Sunday 10 May (afternoon) to Sunday 17 May (morning).

Application
Application to the summer school is done via the following online form: https://forms.gle/EnB1ySRrAwCnXAMN7

In the application form, you will be asked to provide a brief description of yourself, what you are working with, why you want to participate in the summer school, etc. There are no particular prerequisites for participation, but it will be useful to have some background in CA, ethnomethodology, Interactional Linguistics, or related fields. In case there are more interested participants than available places, PhD students and other early career researchers will be given priority.

Application deadline: 30 Sept. 2025

|Short summary=Job: PhD fellowship in Human Centred Robotics at University of Copenhagen, to start October 2025 https://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=164007
|Announcement text=The Human Centred Computing at KU invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in human centred robotics, part of our research around the real world use of robots. Start date is (expected to be) 1st October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

In recent years, advancements in robotics—driven by improvements in hardware, computer vision, and reasoning systems—have enabled the integration of robots into various social environments, such as self-driving cars, robot waiters, and cleaning robots. However, despite progress, robots still face significant challenges in reacting to and collaborating with humans in social contexts. Their ability to coordinate with human movements and actions remains underdeveloped, highlighting the need for new research directions to improve human-robot interaction (HRI). This PhD seeks to explore new approaches to designing and understanding social robots, drawing from human-computer interaction (HCI) and the social sciences.

By focusing on the emergent nature of robot interactions and employing qualitative and ethnographic methods, the overal goal is to foster a deeper understanding of how sociality is achieved between humans and robots. We will also critically assess the broader implications of robotics in society, particularly the ethical and economic considerations of automating labor in areas traditionally viewed as low-status. The goal of the PhD is to combine cutting-edge developments in technology, including machine learning and robot control, with an understanding of how these innovations might reshape robotic interaction.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of human centred computing. Applicants can have a background from Computer Science, or have conducted relevant projects in the social sciences, but need to have evidence of both a technology focus and an understanding of human computer interaction (or related fields). We are looking for researchers who combine both the ability to develop and configure prototype research systems, with the ability to design and study these prototypes.

Our group and research - and what do we offer?

The human centred computing section is one of Europe’s largest and most successful human computer interaction groups, focusing on topics such as digital fabrication, ethnography studies, technology & wellbeing, and extended and virtual reality. Our broad research focus is on using computing to support people’s activities and well-being; inventing new ways for people to interact with technology, and understanding how human capabilities are influenced by technology. We are a diverse and highly collaborative group of researchers that strives to provide a welcoming, supportive, and caring environment for all. Professor Brown leads the section. The group is a part of the department of Computer Science, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories and an active and supportive research environment.

Principal supervisor is Professor Barry Brown, HCC Section, DIKU, barry@di.ku.dk , Phone 44119671.

Application deadline:

The deadline for applications is 22 May 2025, 23:59 GMT +1.

We reserve the right not to consider material received after the deadline, and not to consider applications that do not live up to the abovementioned requirements.

|Short summary=Job: Post-doc on "Syntax and the Body" at IDS Mannheim, applications due 1 June 2025 for October starting date
|Announcement text=The Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS) in Mannheim, founded in 1964, is the central scientific institution for documenting and researching the German language in the present and recent history. The IDS has an annual budget of around 13.6 million euros and currently employs 220 staff members. It is part of the Leibniz Association, which includes 96 other non-university research and infrastructure institutions.

At the IDS, in the Department of Pragmatics , the research project "Syntax and the Body," funded by the Swedish Research Council, is seeking to fill the following position starting October 1, 2025:

Researcher (Post-Doc) (m/f/d)
(Reference number 06/2025)

with the regular weekly working hours of currently 31.6 hours (80%)

The employment relationship is limited to six years. The classification will be based on personal qualifications and assigned tasks, up to salary group 13 according to the TV-L collective agreement.

The project aims to investigate the interplay of linguistic and bodily resources in communicative action during social interaction, with a focus on comparing the relationships across different languages. This will be examined through a conversation-analytic and interactional linguistic approach, based on video recordings of conversations and other social events involving verbal interaction. Primarily, qualitative research methods will be used, supplemented by quantitative methods.

We are looking for a researcher to investigate multimodal interaction, particularly in relation to the use of syntactic structures in coordination with various bodily resources, such as gaze, facial expression, object use, movement in space, etc. Your tasks will involve collecting and analyzing data from a Germanic language and a typologically different language (eg, a Romance language), based on independently developed research questions. Research planning and parts of data analysis will be carried out within an international project team, focusing on comparable phenomena in the languages studied in the project (Chinese, Estonian, French, Japanese, Swedish). You will regularly present the project results at (inter)national conferences and in publications, sometimes in collaboration with the international project partners. The project offers opportunities for academic qualification in an internationally oriented research institute.

Please submit your comprehensive written application, including a cover letter, CV, and certificates (compiled in a single PDF document with a maximum size of 5 MB), along with a scientific article authored by you. Send your application by email, quoting the reference number, to the following address by June 1, 2025 :

Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS)

|Announcement text=Postdoc in Human Centred Computing
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a two-year postdoctoral position in Human Centred Computing. Start date is expected to be July 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Recent advances in AI and robotics have enabled many new assistive technologies for the visual impaired. This project we will explore the possibility of creating new ‘hybrid senses’, ways of combing sensing and actuation to support the visually impared in new ways. Our project combines a focus on understanding what sensing is, with the possibilities that robots and AI provide. For example, could drones scan the ground to support a visually impared person walking through a forest? Or could computer vision enable perception and sensing of a retail outlet?

We are looking for a researcher who combines both the ability to develop and configure prototype research systems, with the ability to design and study these prototypes. The project draws on concepts from ethnomethodology concerning senorality and action, and we particularly invite applicants who have any experience in applying concepts from ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. We are also interested in candidates who have expertise in developing robotic systems along with studying these systems in practice. It is required that candidates have a PhD in a related field, as well as a publication record in either studying or developing robots systems. Familiarity with research around the visually impared, and different concepts of sensing would be an advantage.

Further information on the Department is linked at https://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Barry Alan Brown, barry@di.ku.dk.

The position is open for two years from 1 July 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Terms of employment

The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.

Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.

The application, in English, must be submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.

Please include

|Announcement text=Two-day training "Introduction to conversation analysis and health care encounters"

*Date: 5 & 6 June 2025
*Course fee: £750.00
*Duration: 2 days
*Total places: 20
*Type: Face to face course
*Venue: Ewert House, Summertown, Oxford, UK

This two day course is a contemporary working introduction to applying conversation analytic methods to the study of communication in health care. It includes formal lectures, practical exercises, demonstrations and an extended supervised small group practicum.

Participants will learn about conversation analysis as a qualitative method for studying communication in health care, how to go about making video or audio recordings of naturally-occurring encounters between patients, caregivers and health care providers in different settings and gain practical skills in transcribing and analysing them. By the end of the course participants will understand how to apply conversation analytic methods either within standalone projects or alongside other methods in health services research towards the improvement of patient care.

This course is led by Dr Rebecca Barnes, an expert in applying conversation analytic methods. It is open to anyone who would like to understand the basic principles behind conversation analytic methods and to develop practical skills how to apply them to health care encounter data. Participants do not need to have any previous experience or knowledge of conversation analytic methods, although involvement in, or future ambitions towards planning a research project applying these methods would make the course more relevant.

Helsinki, Finland, November 05-06, 2025

We are thrilled to invite scholars, artists, and practitioners to submit contributions to the first edition of Intersectional Futurisms: Navigating Margins, Disrupting Norms, a two-day transdisciplinary artsci (artistic-scientific) seminar taking place at the University of Helsinki, Finland, on November 5–6, 2025.

This seminar will critically engage with the intersections of marginalization, (digitally mediated) social interactions, anti-colonial praxis, and futurism, envisioning liberatory and transformative futures through artistic and scholarly approaches. By centering voices at the margins and embracing innovative methodologies, this event will explore speculative, decolonial, and creative frameworks—including Afrofuturism, queer futurism, Indigenous futurism, crip futurism, and eco-futurism—to challenge oppressive norms and reimagine brighter futures.

To foster a safe space for creative exchange and challenge traditional academic and artistic frameworks, we welcome submissions in a variety of formats, from traditional talks to artistic performances, speculative storytelling, visual essays, multimedia projects, foresight workshops, and other innovative and experimental contributions that engage with intersectional futurisms, digital practices, and critical scholarship.

*Submission deadline: April 28, 2025

https://www.rug.nl/education/summer-winter-schools/analyzing-classroom-interaction/
|Announcement text=The University of Groningen is a pioneer in its dedication to interactional research, including the departments of Developmental Psychology, Educational Sciences, Special Needs Education and Youth Care at the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences, and department of Linguistics at the Faculty of Arts. Long standing collaborations with focus on classroom interactions have been consolidated in the centre of expertise Interactions in Diverse Classrooms. 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 to study 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 classrooms, happens in interaction between students 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 analyze classroom interactions.

*Dates & location: 30 June – 4 July 2025, Groningen, the Netherlands

*Level: BSc/MSc/PhD/Postdoc/Early career researchers
* Fee: Standard fee: € 555 (including lunches/coffee and one group dinner)
Reduced fee: € 355
We have 4 spots for a reduced-fee registration. If you would like to be considered for a reduced fee, please submit a short motivation in your application.

{{Announcement
|Announcement Type=Job
|Full title=VUAmsPhD2025
|Short title=VUAmsPhD2025
|Short summary=Fully-funded 4-year PhD at VU Amsterdam with dr. Elliott Hoey on 'Recording in social interactions'. Deadline 1-Mar-2025
|Announcement text=Modern societies since the turn of the century have been increasingly suffused with video recording devices. This change has come along with the amplification of observability, blurring the boundaries between local and external situations, and between private and public spheres. Body-worn cameras and bystander video, for instance, have transformed policing into a ‘high visibility’ occupation; unmanned drones and AI facial recognition are rapidly becoming embedded in the surveillance state; and, of course, smartphone cameras have created en masse a population of amateur videographers. This PhD project trains its focus on the ad hoc everyday usage of personal recording devices in actual social interactions.

Consider how wielding a smartphone constitutes a meaningful action, one which was not possible before the commercial availability of such portable technologies. To aim your smartphone camera on some scene suggests to observers that the scene is worth recording and invites them to inspect it for whatever interest is to be found there. This act of recording takes on heightened significance when brought into social interaction. Consider an on-duty police officer who decides to activate his body-worn camera, or a customer who begins recording while making a complaint at a restaurant. In these situations, the camera and the act of recording become foregrounded as integral components of the participants’ interaction.

Despite its mundane recognizability and its key place in debates about ‘cancel culture’, ‘Karens’, and our censorious mediatized age, this phenomenon—the action of recording others in social interaction—has received insufficient attention. The aim of this PhD project is therefore to arrive at an empirically-grounded account of how participants in different everyday settings use the camera as an object for action in interaction.

This project will be supervised by Dr. Elliott Hoey, Prof. Dr. Hedwig te Molder and Prof. Don Weenink.

Requirements
* You have (or will soon complete) a Master’s degree in a relevant field (linguistics, communication and information studies, communication science, social psychology, sociology)
* Demonstrated training and experience in using Conversation Analytic methods
* Excellent writing and communication skills in spoken/written English (C1-C2); Dutch fluency is a plus
* Outstanding research skills as evidence by strong BA/MA transcripts
* Based in the Netherlands or, if not, willing to relocate for the duration of your PhD
* Willing to travel abroad for scientific meetings during the PhD

Your duties

* Conduct research in line with the topic of the project, resulting in a PhD dissertation and scientific publications
* Participate in the research activities of the Department of Language, Literature and Communication, the Language and Communication chair group, and in (inter)national scientific meetings
* Contribute to the educational operations of the Language and Communication chair group (maximum 10% of your time)
* Participate in the VU PhD training program and the training program of a relevant national research school (e.g., LOT School)

Your application should include the following:

* Your updated CV, which should include your educational background, relevant work or research experience, language proficiency, full contact details, and any grants/honors, presentations, or publications
* Letter of motivation (maximum 1000 words) detailing your reasons for applying and how you fit the PhD profile and project description
* BA and MA transcripts
* Writing sample
* Names and contact information of two references who are familiar with your academic work (thesis supervisor, for example).
* Interviews are planned for 2 April 2025. The PhD candidate must be available to start the position no later than September 1, 2025.

Questions about the position and application can be sent to dr. Elliott Hoey (e.m.hoey@vu.nl).

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). Please note that the closing date for abstract submissions will not be extended.

https://www.ninedtp.ac.uk/postdoctoral-fellowship-scheme/
|Announcement text=NINEDTP Postdoctoral Fellowship 2025-26 

12 months, commencing September 2025 

School of Education, Communication & Language Sciences, Newcastle University 

Adam Brandt and Spencer Hazel (Newcastle University) are interested in supporting an eligible PhD student (or recent graduate) in applying for this Fellowship opportunity, which is funded by the ESRC Northern Ireland and North East Doctoral Training Partnership. The aim of the Fellowship is to 'consolidate recently completed doctoral research' (although 25% of the workplan can be allocated to new research).

Applicants must have completed their PhD in a UK university by March 2025, and have no more than 12 months postdoctoral experience at that time.

At the time the Fellowship starts, we will be continuing our research on using conversation analysis for the development of conversational AI for healthcare consultations. We will also separately be part of a European network exploring the potential of AI to reduce social isolation for people with acquired communication disorders. We are therefore particularly looking to support an applicant whose work overlaps with either/both of those lines of research.

Deadline for applications is 10 March 2025, however we encourage potential applicants to contact one or both of us as soon as possible, to allow maximum time to co-develop a workplan, and plan a strong application:

Details:

We are excited to announce the upcoming International Conference on Conversation Analysis (ICCA) on June 23-29, 2026, at University of Alberta, Canada. 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

Call for panel proposals is tentatively scheduled to open in February, 2025 and close in July, 2025. There will also be pre-conference workshops. More details will be posted on our website and social media account. Please check back for more details.

We look forward to welcoming you in Edmonton!

'''Overview''' 
This International Summer School brings into focus linguistic variety from a conversation analytical, interactional, and multimodal perspective. It offers a varied programme of introductory and specialised courses, workshops, and data sessions. The aim of the Summer School is to explore interactional linguistic issues with regard to language variation (including dialects), multilingualism, language contact, etc. It offers five days of intense learning and discussing, which will enable participants to broaden their knowledge and to acquire methods for a granular consideration of linguistic diversity in their data and for analysing phenomena related to the use of multiple languages, dialects, etc. in interaction. The Summer School is directed at graduate, postdoctoral, or senior scholars who have some prior experience in conversation analysis and interactional linguistics. In order to maximise the opportunities for interaction with the facilitators and between attendees, the course accepts 23 participants. For the same reason, the Summer School will take place in a retreat house, where accommodation and full board service is provided. The training will be based on video-recorded interactional data made available by the facilitators and by the participants themselves. 

The International Summer School is organised around the following didactic activities: 
''Plenary lectures'' administered by the facilitators 
''Data sessions'' based on the attendees’ own data 
''Workshops'' devoted to practical issues related to analysing linguistically diverse data (e.g., glossing, phonetic rendering, etc.) 
''Overnight assignments'' that participants will have to complete in small groups for the subsequent day 

'''Venue''' 
The International Summer School will be held at the premises of the Bildungshaus St. Luzen in Hechingen, Germany (Klostersteige 6, 72379 Hechingen, https://luzen.de).
