| Conversation analysis and healthcare interactions - Loughborough, 24-25 January 2019 + | Conversation analysis and healthcare interactions Marco Pino and Ruth Parry Thursday 24th/Friday 25th January 2019 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. For employed persons and PhD students with training budgets the charge is £60. For unwaged and PhD students without training budgets the charge is £40. 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. Enquiries and applications to Marco Pino: m.pino@lboro.ac.uk + |
| Conversation analysis and medical care interactions 2017 + | Conversation analysis and medical care interactions Marco Pino and Paul Drew Tuesday 19th/Wednesday 20th December 2017 Conversation analysis is now used widely in research into a wide variety of health care and medical interactions, from neonatology to end-of-life care; from primary care to interactions with cancer patients; from basic research to applied research aimed at contributing to service improvements; and from studies of how medical decisions are negotiated and communicated, to studies that explore the diagnostic potential of patients’ communication. This workshop will provide an overview of the application of CA to medical and clinical interactions, in-depth information about CA’s methodology and the results of CA research, and how CA’s largely qualitative approach is now being integrated with coding and quantitative methods. Much emphasis will be given to practical sessions and various small-group work assignments focusing on original data in a range of medical settings. So there will be plenty of opportunity for gaining hands-on experience of working with data, as a way to learn more about and enhance your skills in CA’s methods of analysis. This 2-day workshop - which will run from 10am to 5pm on the first day and 9am-4pm on the second day - 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 of £40 will be made to cover costs, including refreshments and a buffet lunch (no charge to members of Loughborough University whose costs will be covered by the Doctoral College). There will be no selection of participants, so places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Enquiries and applications to Marco Pino (m.pino@lboro.ac.uk) Details about registration will be available at the end of August + |

| Copenhagen Multimodality Day 2023 + | Call for papers: 8th Copenhagen Multimodality Day This research seminar invites proposals for paper presentations related to video-based studies of interaction. We especially invite papers that deal with aspects of the sensorially experiencing body, synchronicity, interconnectedness, and simultaneity from an interactional and video-based perspective. We welcome empirical papers, discussions and theoretical papers that take EMCA, interaction analysis, video ethnography, phenomenology, or multimodality studies as points of departure for new theoretical and methodological considerations. We strongly encourage presentations that have a novel approach to settings, data, methods, and theories in relation to interactional research. Keynote speakers Professor Leelo Keevallik, Linköping University Abstract: Beyond sequentiality "The broad field of interaction analysis has traditionally relied on the understanding that participants act after each other, one at a time (Sacks et al. 1974), with regular exceptions such as terminal overlap or “early” responses (Depperman et al. 2021). Several studies have, however, pointed out methods for simultaneous participation in interaction (Sidnell, 2005; Meyer, 2010; Couper-Kuhlen & Pfänder, 2019), such as the distribution of multimodal resources across participants (Hofstetter & Keevallik 2023). These are understudied in a research context that emphasizes individualized contributions in talk (Bassetti & Liberman 2021). Time is thus ripe for more explorations on whether and how participants bring about simultaneities in interaction, especially what concerns resources beyond the verbal."

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. + |
| Copenhagen Postdoc 2025 + | 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.

| DARG Wednesday, 5th June 2019: Classic data session + | This Wednesday at DARG, we’re in B114 from 1pm for a classic data session lead by Charles Antaki "I will bring some classic data, and the idea is to have a fairly old-school 1-hour session devoted to going through the extract with a given key - to be decided on the day - say “sequences”, “repair”, “TRPs” or what have you. This always turns out more difficult than first appears, and may lead to arguments which, while invigorating, are likely to remain tantalisingly unresolved." ------------------------------------------ There is one DARG-PLUS slots remaining in the Spring term available (https://www.lboro.ac.uk/research/crcc/events/darg-events/spring-19/); please get in touch if you would like to reserve this to present data, give a talk, lead a discussion or to put forward a suggestion for an alternative format that the session may take. You can find out more about DARG here, follow @DARG_sessions on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/DARG_sessions and see the most recent DARGchive release here: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/research/crcc/resources/dargchive/. + |
