| Atypical Interaction Conference + | The Centre for Social Practices and Cognition, University of Southern Denmark, July 3-5, 2016 Conference Aims The purpose of this conference is to strengthen the emerging field of ’Atypical Interaction’ (AI), i.e. everyday social interactions involving one or more people with a communication impairment. AI research predominantly draws on the methods and findings of Conversation Analysis (CA) and applies this to video-recorded data of naturally-occurring social interactions involving one or more persons with a communication disorder. While research using CA to analyse the impact of communication disorders on talk and social interaction has been carried out since the 1990s, in recent years work in this area has coalesced into a coherent field of study. This field constitutes an alternative to the traditional model where the focus is on the individual performing in isolation within a testing or clinical context and on uncovering deficits compared to 'normal' performance. Following up on the June 2013 conference held at the University of Sheffield on the theme ‘Atypical Interaction: Conversation Analysis and Communication Impairments’ (www.shef.ac.uk/hcs/caconference), we invite all interested in contributing to AI research with a focus on individuals within their natural social and interactional environment and/or on direct treatment towards the person with the disorder and his/her significant others, such as family members and friends in conversation. + |
| Atypical Interaction Conference 2022 + | Keynote speakers <br> Suzanne Beeke, University College London <br> Ali Reza Majlesi, Stockholm University <br> Gitte Rasmussen, University of Southern Denmark <br> Camilla Lindholm, Tampere University More information about the keynote speakers can be found here: https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/aic2022/speakers/ AIC2022 will continue the tradition of bringing together researchers who use Conversation Analysis to examine interactions that evidence a divergence from more typical patterns, often brought about by the communication challenges of one or more of the participants. In past conferences, this has included (but has not been limited to) interactions involving individuals diagnosed with conditions such as aphasia, autism, dementia, dysarthria, schizophrenia, and visual- and speech impairment, in both clinical and social settings. Researchers have also examined communicative events involving interaction with robots, or with animals. We invite submissions on research into interaction where participants orient to some degree of atypicality, as well as that on types of interaction that are treated as atypical within the field of language and interaction research. Abstracts for panels, individual, or poster presentations are invited. We particularly welcome submissions related to the theme of Activity, Inclusivity & Creativity. Conference theme: Activity, Inclusivity & Creativity Regardless of the range of linguistic and communicative resources available to people, their life-worlds are embedded within complex, semiotically-rich environments in which they organise themselves into collaborative activities. They dance together, or read or cook together; they go shopping or visit the cinema; they play board-games, or play in a band; they take art classes, or play a team sport; they work together. Particular social activities can present some members with additional challenges, excluding them from active participation due to the performance demands or complexity of the activity. But activity frameworks can also provide members with important organisational routines, templates which support and underpin people’s social engagement with one another. Such activity frameworks can be sufficiently stable to permit divergence from the normative patterns of being, inviting play and creativity to emerge, endorsing atypical patterns of expression and mutual engagement. We invite presentations that help us reflect on the centrality of situated activities in the organisation of members’ engagements with one another. Key dates <br> • Abstract submission deadline: 10 January 2022 <br> • Notification of acceptance: 24 February 2022 <br> • Early bird registration: 24 February - 10 April 2022 (inclusive) <br> • Regular registration: 11 April – 15 May 2022 (inclusive) <br> • Late registration: 16 May - 25 May 2022 (inclusive) <br> • Conference: 27-29 June 2022 Submission Information Abstracts of a maximum 300 words can be submitted using the online submission system.

| Atypical Interaction Conference AIC2019: Resources and Challenges in Participation + | It is our great pleasure to invite you to the Atypical Interaction Conference, AIC2019, to be held in Helsinki, Finland from 17th to 19th June 2019. The aim of the conference is to gather together researchers interested in the study of asymmetric and atypical interaction. The conference especially aims to advance research, which uses Conversation Analysis (CA) to investigate social interactions involving participants with communication impairment. Studies on other developmental and/or clinical interactions are also welcome. With the theme "Resources and Challenges in Participation," we invite presentations that "describe and analyze the practices through which different kind of parties build social action together by participating in structured ways in the events" (Goodwin & Goodwin 2004). As a multidisciplinary research field, we would like to welcome all those with interest in asymmetrical or atypical interaction. We accept papers, posters, and data sessions. You can also submit a panel proposal of one or more sessions. Each session lasts 90 minutes. Abstract Submission is open until December 9th, 2018. Important dates: * Abstract submission deadline: December 9th, 2018 * Notification of acceptance: February 28th, 2019 * Early bird registration closes: March 15th, 2019 * Regular registration closes: May 1st, 2019 Confirmed plenary speakers are: * Michael Clarke, University College London, U.K. * Douglas W. Maynard, University of Madison-Wisconsin, U.S. * Charlotta Plejert, Linköping University, Sweden More information is available on our conference web site at https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/atypical-interaction-conference-2019 We warmly welcome you to the AIC2019 in Helsinki!

| Big Video Sprint 2017 + | Big Video Sprint 2017 This mini-conference on BIG VIDEO will take place at Aalborg University, Denmark, on 22-24 November 2017. The keynote speakers are: * Anne Harris, Monash University, Australia * Robert Willim, Lund University, Sweden * Adam Fouse, Aptima, USA * Paul McIlvenny & Jacob Davidsen, Aalborg University Dates: 22-24 November 2017 Location: Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark This mini-Conference is targeted at practitioners of qualitative video ethnography and ethnomethodological conversation analysis who are exploring new ways of collecting time-based records of social, material and embodied practices as live-action events in real or virtual worlds. They may also be critically revisiting established methods. Additionally, this approach will most likely involve crafting and sharing video data archives, as well as transcribing and visualising enhanced video data in order to collect analytically adequate recordings and to do analysis in new ways. We feel that our collective research endeavour is at a critical juncture - both a leap forward driven by new technologies that help collect richer and enhanced moving image and sound recordings in a variety of novel settings and a critical reflection on the nature of video data and the praxiology of doing video-based research. With the complexity of video recording scenarios, and the increasing use of computational tools and resources for qualitative analysis, we can see the beginnings of a BIG VIDEO programme. We use this glib term to suggest an alternative to the hype about quantitative big data analytics. Big can mean both large datasets and more than just video. Thus, we argue that there is a need to develop an infrastructure for qualitative video analysis in four key areas: 1) capture, storage, archiving and access of enhanced digital video; 2) visualisation, transformation and presentation; 3) collaboration and sharing; and 4) software tools to support analysis.The mini-conference is organised as a series of keynotes, panel discussions, enhanced data sessions and method sprints aiming to elevate and ignite discussions of the future of Big Video. With the development of new video recording and sensing technologies, fresh opportunities arise for data collection and analysis within the discourse and interaction studies paradigm. Technologies that have potential include high resolution and high speed video cameras, 360 cameras, stereoscopic 3D cameras, thermal cameras, virtual cameras, spatial and ambisonic audio, video stitching and annotation, GPS and local positioning systems, lightfields and 3D scanning, mobile biosensing data (eg. heart rate, galvanic skin response and EEG), motion/performance capture and mobile eye tracking – to name just a few. The opportunities these afford should be actively and critically explored. And so we envisage the following themes will be in focus in this mini-conference: * Enhanced qualitative video data collection methods * Complementary use of sensory data * Complementary use of spatial and environmental sensing data * Autonomous and manual drone video * Critical reflections on the ‘camera’, the ‘microphone’, the 'frame' and the 'shot' in data capture * Virtualisation of capture methods * ‘Found video’ and public video data archives * Re*sensing video and audio, eg. haptic visuality * Video data collection in extreme situations and complex settings * Footprint recordings, omniscient frames and six degrees of freedom * Virtual immersion and stereoscopic/holographic realism * Algorithmic normativity and bias in video recording software and hardware * Developing and standardising transcription conventions for complex qualitative data sets * Transcription software development * Novel ways to visualise and analyse complex qualitative data sets * Best practice for digitally anonymising voices, bodies, semiotic landscapes, settings and objects * Enhanced ‘data sessions’ * Inhabiting data with augmented and virtual reality * Re*enactment, plausibility and epistemic adequacy * Modding game engines, APIs, VSTs, CODECs, platforms and apps for live data capture and editing (DAWs and NLEs) * Archiving, rendering and sharing video data corpora beyond the cloud, eg. fogs * Collaborative video repository and subversion issues * Design of software tools and practices to support collaboration on video data annotation and analysis * New modes for dissemination, presentation and publication of data and analysis * Aesthetics of video research methods * Emerging ethical and legacy issues * Theoretical and methodological reflections on data collection and transcription practices * Practical, methodological and theoretical perspectives on the relations between the concepts of the ‘Event’, the ‘Record’, ‘Data’, the‘Transcript’, the ‘Analysis’, and the ‘Publication Please submit an abstract of 500 words to be considered for inclusion on the programme and to secure your participation in the conference. Deadline is 30 May 2017. Full details can be found here: http://www.bigvideo.aau.dk/conference/big-video-sprint-2017/ + |

How different would this make our communication? Relying on a large corpus of naturally occurring recordings of spontaneous social interaction, this book explores all of the ways that we confirm questions in our everyday social lives. In The Book of Answers, the author analyzes what these different ways of responding allow us to do that is unique to each answer type. When do we answer with Yeah rather than He is, for instance; or when do we use more complicated forms of confirming? This information provides us with the basic response possibility space. From that point we can examine what the range of responses, in particular answers, tells us about what is important to us in managing social relationships through social interaction. The book explains that we can conceptualize the response possibility space as having three dimensions: alignment, autonomy, and affiliation. Speakers rely on the details of their response to position themselves at a particular point in that three-dimensional space, sometimes accepting trade-offs among the dimensions to achieve a stance that is higher in alignment and autonomy and lower in affiliation or higher in affiliation and autonomy but lower in alignment. The Book of Answers uses real-life conversations to find hidden patterns in how we do things together such as reach decisions, tell stories, or arrive at agreement or disagreement. Delving into the science of how we talk, this book investigates what those patterns tell us about human communication and our social lives.

| CA & healthcare interactions workshop - Loughborough University 2021 + | Online workshop in conversation analysis and healthcare interactions Saul Albert, Charles Antaki, Ruth Parry, and Marco Pino Loughborough University Thursday 4th/ Friday 5th February 2021 Conversation analysis (CA) is used increasingly in the scientific study of diverse health care and medical interactions, ranging from primary to secondary and tertiary care settings. CA has been used to examine numerous activities, from how patients introduce their problems to the ways in which medical decisions are negotiated and communicated. CA studies range from basic work on the fundamentals of human interaction, to applied research aimed at contributing to service improvement. What does this workshop cover? The workshop will provide an overview of the application of CA to healthcare interactions, including interactions between medical doctors, patients, and (on occasions) family members, and interactions with other healthcare professionals. The workshop will include in-depth information and practical work on CA’s methodology (including data analysis) and examination of some key findings of CA research in healthcare. The workshop aims to enable learning and enhancement of participants’ skills in CA’s methods of analysis. How is the workshop structured? This 2-day workshop will run from 10am to 3.30pm on the first day and 9am-4pm on the second day. It will be delivered online using Microsoft Teams. Short presentations by the facilitators will cover fundamental aspects of CA and its applications to the study of healthcare interactions. However, workshop time will largely be dedicated to practical sessions and small-group assignments focusing on original data (provided by the facilitators) in a range of healthcare settings. There will be a strong emphasis on hands-on experience of working with data alongside feedback from and discussion with facilitators. Who is the workshop for? The workshop is open to postgraduates, post-docs, researchers and faculty who have at least some familiarity with CA as a research methodology (including CA transcription conventions). The number of participants will be restricted to 10 in order to maximise opportunities for participation in the online environment. Registration fee: - For employed persons and PhD students with training budgets: £50 - For unwaged people and PhD students without training budgets: £25 We encourage potential attenders who are unwaged or otherwise less able to afford the registration to contact the organisers as fees are negotiable in some circumstances. To apply Please send an email to m.pino@lboro.ac.uk introducing yourself and telling us about your existing knowledge of CA and your plans for using CA in your own research. Note: if are not already familiar with CA and want to attend this workshop, we recommend that you first attend our workshop ‘CA for beginners’, scheduled for 28th of January 2021 (you will need to apply for it separately). We will reserve extra places for applications from areas with fewer EMCA training opportunities (see http://emcawiki.net/Where_to_study_EMCA). We are receiving a large number of applications. We will put future applicants on a waiting list and confirm places within the next few weeks. + |
| CA Beginners Easter 2022 + | Loughborough University holds a number of workshops on Conversation Analysis throughout the year. Our next one-day CA for Beginners workshop will be held remotely on Thursday 28th April, 2022. The day will start at 10.00 am and end at 5.00 pm, UK time. Led by Charles Antaki, Marco Pino, Jessica Robles and Saul Albert, the workshop is meant for anyone who has a growing interest in CA – perhaps they have heard of it, come across it in their studies, or are working in a group which uses it as an approach for research, and would like to know more. It would also be useful for anyone starting out on research which may take them down the line of analysing talk in great detail. The kinds of questions we will cover include: What is the relationship between CA and discourse analysis? Why does CA insist on the close analysis of talk, with very detailed transcription? What does CA us about what people are doing in every day in counters? Can we use CA to understand institutional encounters, for example medical consultations or police interviews?

| CA and Healthcare 2020 Training Workshop + | Conversation analysis and healthcare interactions Marco Pino and Ruth Parry Thursday 30th/Friday 31st January 2020 Conversation analysis (CA) is used increasingly in the scientific study of diverse health care and medical interactions, ranging from primary to secondary and tertiary care settings. CA has been used to examine numerous activities, from how patients introduce their problems to the ways in which medical decisions are negotiated and communicated. CA studies range from basic work on the fundamentals of human interaction, to applied research aimed at contributing to service improvement. What does this workshop cover? The workshop will provide an overview of the application of CA to healthcare interactions, including interactions between medical doctors, patients, and (on occasions) family members, and interactions with other healthcare professionals. The workshop will include in-depth information and practical work on CA’s methodology (including transcription and data analysis) and examination of some key findings of CA research in healthcare. The workshop aims to enable learning and enhancement of participants’ skills in CA’s methods of analysis. How is the workshop structured? This 2-day workshop will run from 10am to 5pm on the first day and 9am-4pm on the second day. Short presentations by the facilitators (Marco Pino and Ruth Parry) will cover fundamental aspects of CA and its applications to the study of healthcare interactions. However, workshop time will largely be dedicated to practical sessions and small-group assignments focusing on original data (provided by the facilitators) in a range of healthcare settings. There will be a strong emphasis on hands-on experience of working with data alongside feedback from and discussion with facilitators. Who is the workshop for? The workshop is open to all postgraduates, post-docs, researchers and faculty. The number of participants will be restricted to 20 (in order to maximise opportunities for participation). A nominal charge will cover costs, including photocopies of training materials, refreshments and buffet lunches (not accommodation). For employed persons and PhD students with training budgets the charge is £120. For unwaged and PhD students without training budgets the charge is £60. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Do I need to have prior knowledge of conversation analysis? No. This workshop is open to participants who do not have prior knowledge of CA.
