| IMPEC (Screen-based multimodal interactions) Conference 2022 + | EXTENDED DEADLINE: 8 OCT. 2021 The call for papers for the international conference IMPEC 2022 is open! 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. Submission is only possible on the conference website: https://impec.sciencesconf.org/submission/submit To send us question, a unique address: groupe.impec@gmail.com Kind regards, The IMPEC 2022 organizing committee + |

| IPrA 2017: Poetics, the “Wild” Side of CA: Twenty Years after Jefferson + | 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.

| IPrA panel: EM/CA and Social Change: Addressing race and racism in EM/CA research and teaching + | Call Deadline: 01-Oct-2020 (pre-approval) - conference deadline: 25-October-2020 Panel: EM/CA and Social Change: Addressing race and racism in EM/CA research and teaching. IPrA 2021 conference, Winterthur, Switzerland, 27 June - 2 July 2021 Organizers: Eleonora Sciubba (m.e.sciubba@tilburguniversity.edu), Natasha Shrikant The murder of George Floyd and the uptake of the Black Lives Matter movement worldwide has confronted EM/CA scholars with questions about the ways whiteness is embedded in EM/CA theory, method, and pedagogy. Although Sacks’ (1984; 1986) work did highlight ways that EM/CA can study the relevance of race and racism in interaction, only a handful of scholars have used EM/CA approaches to do so (e.g., Rawls & Duck, 2020; Robles, 2015; Shrikant, 2018a, 2018b, 2020a; 2020b; Stokoe & Edwards, 2007; Whitehead, 2017; 2020; Whitehead & Lerner, 2009). These studies highlight the strength of EM/CA theories and methods to analyze how macro processes like “racism”, “discrimination”, or “resistance” occur in mundane, interactionally specific ways. Despite the fact that EM/CA can be used to study these issues, and other forms of -isms, these issues are often positioned (through teaching, in data sessions, and by some scholars) as tangential to ‘mainstream’ EM/CA work. The purpose of this panel is to provide a public platform to a) interrogate the pervasiveness of whiteness in EM/CA and b) to propose ways to enact social change – particularly in regard to race and racism – in EM/CA research and teaching. To that end, we request three 90 minute sessions: * A roundtable inviting panelists and audience to discuss the past, present, and future of EM/CA as it relates to addressing or ignoring questions of race and racism. * A research panel inviting papers that extend EM/CA theorizing to address questions of race, ethnicity, and inequality. * A research panel inviting empirical papers that illustrate the utility of using EM/CA to study race and racism as it occurs in different cultures and countries. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: * Ways in which ‘whiteness’ is embedded into EM/CA theorizing; * Ways in which ‘whiteness’ pervades pedagogy – in the classroom or during data sessions; * How EM/CA can be used to analyze traditionally conceptualized ‘macro’ processes, such as resistance, identity, race, or activism; * How EM/CA theorizing can be extended through centering studies on minoritized groups in different cultures and countries; * EM/CA studies that document the variety of overt and implicit ways that racial, ethnic, or cultural identities are made relevant in interaction. Call for papers: If you would like to contribute to this panel, please send your 250-500 word abstract to Eleonora Sciubba, m.e.sciubba@tilburguniversity.edu, for pre-approval by October 1. All abstracts will ultimately have to be submitted individually through the IPrA submission system (https://ipra2021.exordo.com/) by 25 October 2020. Please prepare your abstracts for submission with a reference to the IPrA Call for papers & Submission guidelines at https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP and select the panel “EM/CA and Social Change: Addressing race and racism in EM/CA research and teaching.” + |
| IPrA2017-Talk-Dying-panel + | Marco Pino: m.pino@lboro.ac.uk Ruth Parry: ruth.parry@nottingham.ac.uk This panel brings together studies that take an interactional approach to death as a topic in conversation. How do people talk about dying? What norms and constraints inform their practices for initiating, managing, and closing off conversations about dying? Our panel specifically focuses on occasions where people are demonstrably orienting to the death of one of the parties to the interaction (or someone close to them) as a relevant matter or concern within the interaction; at the same time, it takes a broad approach in terms of how death can become relevant for the participants – as a topic for the conversation or as a relevant concern within specific action sequences and activities (e.g. making plans for future care). This line of inquiry is timely given increasing cultural and political trends – or even pressures – that encourage individuals to discuss, think about, and make preparations for their own dying. These trends are underpinned by assumptions that death is not discussed enough (due to cultural taboo) and that this has negative repercussions in terms of missed opportunities to prepare for one’s end. Health professionals have been called upon to encourage patients to discuss dying and communicate their wishes about the care and support they want for their end of life. There is evidence that both healthcare professionals and patients regard talk about death as important, but at the same time difficult to initiate. Conversation analytic studies showed that death is a special topic insofar as people orient to distinctive interactional norms for initiating, managing, and terminating discussions about death. Holt’s (1993) study on how people announce the death of a mutual acquaintance in informal telephone conversations shows that people recurrently follow talk about death with more positive commentaries within “bright side sequences”. Studies on healthcare interactions (in HIV counselling, oncology, and palliative medicine) show that professionals regularly hold off introducing death as a topic and instead subtly cue patients to death in ways that give them opportunities to be the fist to introduce death as a focus for the conversation (Peräkylä, 1995; Lutfey and Maynard, 1998; Pino, Parry et al., 2016). This panel extends these lines of inquiry by bringing together studies on recorded episodes of interaction where participants demonstrably treat the death of one of the parties to the interaction (or someone close to them) as a relevant topic or concern within the conversation. The studies focus on how death is managed as a conversational topic (how people initiate, progress and terminate it, or sometimes only allude to, or even avoid it) as well as the various action sequences and interactional activities within which (or related to which) death is a demonstrably relevant concern (e.g. investigating and assessing the patient’s emotional wellbeing relative to the prospect of dying; making plans for end of life care). We welcome studies that employ a rigorous analytic process based on participants’ interaction-internal displayed understandings of each other actions. References Holt E.

| IPrA2021 Panel on Emotion in Institutional Encounters + | Bethan Benwell, Jack B. Joyce & Catrin S. Rhys Ulster University, UK & Stirling University, UK. Contact: j.joyce@ulster.ac.uk This panel brings together scholars investigating how emotion and institutional concerns are interwoven in talk-in-interaction. It assembles interactional studies which address: (1) how we understand emotion in institutional encounters (2) how emotional concerns and institutional concerns are navigated, and (3) members’ orientations to personal experience as it is interactionally accomplished. Studies of emotion in interaction treat emotion as a discursive phenomenon that is rhetorically deployed and used to construct the nature and causes of events (Edwards, 1999). Crucially, how actions reflect peoples’ emotional states, stances, and attitudes towards an issue or event (see Couper-Kuhlen, 2012), and how these are organised in interaction (see Kaukomaa et al., 2013). Investigations into common markers of emotion include (but are not limited to): certain words (Edwards, 2005), facial expressions (Kaukomaa et al., 2013), descriptions (Rae, 2008), and reaction tokens (Wilkinson & Kitzinger, 2006). We excavate how these displays are manifest in institutional interactions where service users are complaining, requesting, demanding etc., to uncover how affect can be a resource for achieving an action, but may also act as a hindrance to fulfilling the institutional remit. Service providers are expected to balance these often-competing demands, and it is this balancing which is of interest to this panel. This panel assembles papers from scholars examining emotion in institutional encounters, specifically those which deal with action, sequence, and interactional activities across a variety of institutional contexts. Among other topics, invited papers explore emotion in complaints to the NHS, requests for help from a charity, calls to social workers, and emergency dispatch calls. The panellists are encouraged to reflect on junctures where institutional concerns are at odds with displays of emotion, and how interlocutors balance these to act appropriately. Thus, the intended outcome of the panel is to further understand institutional encounters where sensitive concerns are manifest, and thus in conflict or agreement with, the concerns of the institution.

| IV EnACE 4th Meeting Conversation Analysis in Brazil 2023 + | Multimodality in Human Interaction We are pleased to announce the fourth edition of the 4th Meeting Conversation Analysis in Brazil (IV EnACE) which will take place on March 22, 23, and 24, 2023, at the School of Philosophy, Languages and Human Sciences of the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), in the city of Guarulhos, São Paulo, in partnership with “Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos” (Unisinos University). EnACE aims to bring together researchers, research groups, and students who are dedicated to the description and analysis of talk-in-interaction and social interactions and who are affiliated with the theoretical perspective of Conversation Analysis or interactional linguistics empirically oriented to naturalistic interactions, such as studies of conversation analysis, multimodal conversation analysis, interactional linguistics and gestures in interaction (gesture studies). The IV EnACE is organized by two research groups: the Interação, Cognição e Multimodalidade (InCoMul) from “Universidade Federal de São Paulo” (UNIFESP), coordinated by Prof. Dr. Fernanda Miranda da Cruz, and by the Fala-em-Interação (FEI) group, from the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos (Unisinos), coordinated by Prof. Dr. Ana Cristina Ostermann. The theme chosen for this fourth edition is “Multimodality in human interaction”. Human interactions have a primordial and fundamentally multimodal organization and, for the construction of these interactions, the participants mobilize resources of different semiotic natures, which encompass language in its various aspects (e.g., prosody, syntax, lexicon), embodied conducts (e.g., gestures, facial expressions, body movements in space) and the physical artifacts of the material world (e.g., objects, technologies, devices, tools). EnACE, in its edition under the theme Multimodality of human interaction, would like to gather especially, although not exclusively, studies on human interaction and on talk-in-interaction that have been dedicated to exploring the coordination between body, gestures, material world, and language in the construction and organization of human interactions. In addition, it also it also aims at contemplating proposals proposals that share or problematize questions about technical and methodological issues on multimodal research (notation and representation of audiovisual corpora; multimodal transcription; the use of tools for viewing and annotating video, e.g., ELAN, EXMARaLDA, Anvil). International Conferences of the IV EnACE Continuing the work of expanding its network of dialogue with other countries, already started by the organizing committees of the previous editions, the fourth edition will bring three lecturers who are a reference in the international academic community of AC, namely, Lorenza Mondada (the University of Basel, Switzerland); Galina Bolden (The University of New Jersey, United States of America); Katherina Walper (Universidad Austral de Chile, Chile). In addition to international speakers, we have extended our call for contribution of oral communications, whose accepted languages for submission are abstracts English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Rules for Abstract Submission EnACE has two modes of participation: the presentation of papers (oral communication and joint analysis of data) and the listening mode. Find below the rules for the submission of the paper. Modalities of participation in the presentation of papers Oral communication: Each participant will have up to 20 minutes to present their oral communication and, depending on the number of papers submitted, up to 10 minutes to discuss them with the other participants in the session. The papers submitted for oral presentation will be distributed in thematic sessions for the presentation of papers. Accepted languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese. Guidelines for submitting abstracts: (a) The abstract must be between 150 and 300 words; (b) The structure of the abstract must present: the title; the topic and/or problem (suitable for EnACE purposes); objective(s) of the paper; theoretical orientation; methodological procedures; most relevant results and conclusions (if any); 3 to 4 keywords (in Portuguese and separated by a full stop). (c) Languages accepted for abstracts: Spanish, English, Portuguese Joint data analysis session: This type of session is a practice at some Conversation Analysis conferences. The joint data analysis sessions aim to provide those who already have data with an environment for the analytical exercise. The participants look over a recording and share their analytic insights with researchers from different institutions. Therefore, it is essential that the researcher does not take his/her analysis finished, but that he/she is available to listen to different possibilities of data appreciation. Guidelines for proposal submission: (a) Abstract: The proponent must present a text contextualizing the data of a maximum of 300 words. Abstract structure: the origin of data; the scope of the project in which they were generated; the scenario of the segments; and the activity(s) in which participants are engaged during the segment. (b) Title of the abstract: it must inform, in a few words, the context of the interaction/collection that is being submitted for joint analysis. E.g. “doctor-patient interaction in context X”, “telephone call terminations”, “questions and answers in context Y”, etc. (c) Transcripts: they must be presented in the Jefferson transcription system (cf. Loder, 2008) and may comprise one or more segments, provided that a maximum of 3 (three) pages of transcription are totaled with the following formatting: - Font: Courier New, size 10; - Page margins: top 2.5cm, bottom 2.5cm, left 3cm, right 3cm. - Guidelines on the system, see some references: 1.

Transcribing for Social Research. 10.4135/9781473920460. (d) The file with the transcripts must be saved in .pdf format, cannot contain any information about the proponent of the session, and must be sent through the registration system by the final submission date. (e) Accepted languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese. Guidelines for conducting the joint data analysis session: (a) Each proponent will have one hour to present their data and discuss them with the other participants in the session. (b) The proponent must be prepared to present audio/video excerpts that occurred immediately before or immediately after the presented segment if requested during the session. (c) Printed copies of the transcripts of data proposed for joint analysis will be made available, as well as the necessary equipment, such as a computer, image projector, and speakers, if the proponent chooses to show the recording of the transcribed segments to be analyzed (which it is strongly suggested that it be done, as it is a fundamental part of sessions for this purpose). (d) Languages accepted for submission of proposals: Spanish, English, Portuguese Important dates: Registration with the presentation of oral communication or for data sessions: from 1st July 2022 to 1st September 2022. Listener registration (without presentation of papers): from 1 October 2022 to 30 October 2022 Payment/registration with the presentation of a paper: until 15 January 2023 Payment of registration without presentation of a paper: until 15 January 2023 Conferences date: 22-24 March 2023 ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: https://bit.ly/3OOwqua + |

| Impec2018 + | '''The body and the screen''' Following the 2016 conference on screen-mediated presence, the 2018 IMPEC conference will focus on the relationship between body and screen. The constant innovations in the digital field lead to new configurations of the body-screen relationship, whether it is for gaming, for work or for communication. In our analyses, these new relationships will be studied from the point of view of the following four subtopics: '''1. The body in screen-mediated interactions''' Corporal perceptions in screen-mediated interactions are distinct from face to face interactions. Even though we cannot feel the other or touch them directly, we are able to adjust the screen-based representations of our own body or the other person’s, thus affecting the way we see and are perceived. The setup creates a positioning of the body which is more or less static (videoconferencing) or dynamic (arm movements in Wii video games, whole body movements in Kinect). What senses are preferably addressed in screen mediated interactions? How are the missing perceptions replaced or made up for (smell, taste, touch)? What is the specific status of touch (since touching the screen is the way many interfaces interact with applications)? How can these sensorial specificities be used? What social or medical uses of the stimulated body can be offered by video games for special audiences (elderly people, autistic people, etc.)? '''2. The body on the screen''' In screen mediated interactions, the body is only partly audible or visible (incomplete image, modified voice). It can also be shown with transformations (frozen image, distorted sound or voice) or be represented by an avatar (for example in video games, virtual worlds, social media, etc.). What are the consequences of seeing one’s self in a videoconferencing situation? What emotional sensations are linked to seeing one’s synchronized image? What is the link between the choice of avatar and the image of ourselves we try to project? Do the transformations of the body create an effect on the interaction taking place, and if so, in what way? '''3. The body through the screen: augmented body and virtual body''' Thanks to various artifacts (controllers, prostheses, helmets, etc.) the screen may become a continuation of the body such as in the case of immersion in a virtual world via Google glasses or action control in a video game via the body (Kinect). In addition, screens can present us with information about our body, such as in medical follow-up apps, sports coaching, etc. (augmented self, quantified self). How do we pass from one world to the other and how do we manage these passages between worlds, for example in relation to a possible loss of reference points? Can we identify differences in degrees of immersion? What are the effects and the uses we make of the information about our body? What are the uses and limits of this information? '''4. The body of the screen''' The materiality, the sizes, the different shapes and the affordances of screens can also be examined. For example, can the size of a telepresence robot along with its position in a room influence its status in an interaction? From a more general point of view, does it make sense to speak about the body of a screen? Can the screen be considered as an agent? If so, in what way, in which situations, and to which extent? Other questions linked to the screen-body relationship may also be relevant for the 2018 edition. This conference is really thought as a way of working across fields. Therefore, we encourage anyone interested in the screen-body relationship to come and talk with us during this next edition.

| Interaction, communication, and mundane AI - Oulu 2026 + | The University of Oulu Graduate School, COACT research community and the AIDA project organise a PhD course on how to study human-AI encounters. This course starts from the premise that human encounters with technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) have become part of our everyday lives. It aims to provide the course participants with a foundational understanding of how human–AI interaction can be studied and investigated as a form of situated, practical action. It invites the participants to examine what makes these interactions recognizable, intelligible, and actionable for the people involved. The course builds on approaches used in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (EM/CA), exploring how they can be used to tackle the above themes. This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of communication, agency, and interaction in the age of mundane AI. The course is open for a multidisciplinary audience with a broad background and interest in social sciences and humanities. No preliminary knowledge of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis is required. The participants’ own engagement with naturalistic audiovisual materials is also not a prerequisite for the course. The course is intended for PhD researchers. We can accept max. 25 participants. If the number of registrations exceeds 25, priority will first be given to Oulu-based PhD researchers and then to PhD researchers from elsewhere. After that, participants are accepted on a “first come, first served” basis. Deadline for registration: 20 March 2026 Sign up for the course here: https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/25702765695A4387 Best wishes, Pentti Haddington, Tiina Eilittä and Jakub Mlynář + |
| Interactional Competences and Practices in a Second Language 2017 + | CALL FOR PAPERS International conference Interactional Competences and Practices in a Second Language (ICOP-L2) University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, 18-20 January 2017 Conference theme Throughout the past two decades, interactional competences and practices have gained unprecedented attention in research on second language (L2) acquisition, use and education. Following Dell Hymes’ conceptualization of communicative competence, various lines of research have for long been concerned with pragmatic development in an L2, mostly focusing on the realization of speech acts. Yet, it is only recently that research has started to systematically investigate how people's capacity to engage in social interaction is affected in their L2 and how their ability to participate in such interaction evolves over time. When participating in social interactions, we orient to each other, we synchronize our mutual conducts, we make recognizable our actions to others and we finely monitor the trajectories of other people's actions. Opening a telephone conversation, launching a conversational storytelling, agreeing or disagreeing with others, or simply taking a turn at talk all involve highly organized socially coordinated procedures that, most typically, are experienced by participants as non-problematic in L1 talk. However, what happens when people move into an L2? Under the heading ‘L2 interactional competences and practices in a second language’ (ICOP-L2), this conference brings together researchers from various horizons (e.g. linguistics, education, sociology) who investigate how people engage in second language talk-in-interaction: What are the basic ingredients of L2 interactional competence? How does such competence vary across situations and over time? How do L2 speakers use the linguistic resources at their disposal to accomplish social actions in coordination with others? How do linguistic and other resources (gaze, gesture, posture) work together in L2 talk? How does social interaction structure learning processes and learning products? How can L2 interactional competence and learning through interaction be addressed in educational contexts? These are among the questions that will be tackled during the conference. The conference papers and panels will be organized in three thematic strands: * L2 talk-in-interaction: This strand is concerned with describing the practices of L2 talk and with the (multi)semiotic resources speakers mobilize to accomplish these practices, without necessarily addressing issues of learning. * Learning-in-interaction: This strand comprises research on learning processes, activities and opportunities in social interaction in a variety of settings, including both the language classroom and learning ‘in the wild’. * L2 interactional competence: This strand includes studies investigating the development of interactional competence over time as well as contributions addressing challenges for the assessment and the teaching of interactional competence. Keynote speakers * Joan Kelly Hall, Penn State University, USA * Søren Eskildsen, University of Southern Denmark, DK * John Hellermann, Portland State University, USA * Spencer Hazel, Nottingham University, UK Invited symposium An invited symposium, organized by Tim Greer (Kobe University, Japan), addresses current trends in research on L2 talk-in-interaction. Pre-conference workshops (18 January 2017) Three pre-conference workshops, addressed specifically (but not exclusively) to young researchers, provide hands-on training on methodological aspects of the analysis of L2 competences and practices in naturally-occurring data. Registration will be on a first-come-first-served basis. * Johannes Wagner, University of Southern Denmark, DK: Designing longitudinal research on interactional competence * Evelyne Berger, University of Helsinki, FI: Building collections * Adam Brandt, Newcastle University, UK, and Olcay Sert, Hacettepe University, TR: Conducting comparative research on L2 interactions Submission Proposals are invited for individual papers and panels (colloquia). Individual papers will be granted a 30-minute slot including discussion; Panels will cover one or two 90-minute slots. For further details please refer to the conference website: www.unine.ch/ICOP_L2 All papers and panel abstracts need to be submitted before 23:59 local time in Switzerland (GTM +1) on 15 May 2016 through the conference website.

| International Conference for Conversation Analysis and Psychotherapy 2019 + | 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.

| International Conference on Conversation Analysis and Psychotherapy 8-10 September 2022 + | The overarching theme of this conference pertains to the psychotherapeutic relationship. Interest in the relationship between therapist and client has been central from the earliest days of psychotherapy. There is much agreement that the therapeutic relationship bears a significant relation to treatment outcome; it can help make therapy effective and provide a healing context for change. Most of the research on the therapy relationship to date has used quantitative methods drawn from clients, therapists or observers’ appraisal (e.g., based on questionnaires or checklist type measures). Much less energy has been committed to the detailed examination of the specifics of in-therapy events and how that may develop our qualitative understanding of how a therapy relationship is achieved through therapists’ and clients’ talk and conduct. Conversation Analysis (CA), which examines the moment-by-moment sequential organization of social interaction in everyday and institutional contexts, and related disciplines have provided many insights into our understanding of how important psychotherapeutic ‘business’ is accomplished. This includes the psychotherapy relationship, but also many other kinds of important phenomena grounded in talk & conduct such as the alliance, empathy, emotional displays, epistemics and change, just to name a few. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from an international community to discuss new findings, methodological innovations and practical applications in this growing area of applied CA work. We welcome submissions that align with the conference theme, but also papers that address any relevant aspects of interactional practices used in psychotherapeutic contexts. Submissions that address relevant neighbouring forms of institutional practice (e.g., psychiatric consultations; psychological assessment; support-oriented help lines, home support visits, coaching and counselling) are also welcome. We hope the conference will be of interest to people from a variety of academic backgrounds (including psychotherapy, counselling, psychiatry, social work, linguistics, psychology, and sociology) and to practitioners from a wide-range of institutional settings who employ therapeutic practices in their work. '''NOTE:''' If you have already submitted an abstract in 2021, you have two options: i) keep your original abstract and this will be reviewed by our scientific committee in due course; or ii) submit a different abstract. Please let us know what you decide to do. We look forward to seeing you in Ghent! + |
| International Conference: Interactional Competences and Practices in a Second Language (ICOP-L2) Mälardalen University, Västerås, Sweden, 29–31 May 2019 + | '''International Conference: Interactional Competences and Practices in a Second Language (ICOP-L2)''' '''Mälardalen University, Västerås, Sweden, 29–31 May 2019''' Following the success of the first Interactional Competences and Practices in a Second Language (ICOP-L2) conference organized by the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), we are delighted to organise the second ICOP-L2 conference to be held at Mälardalen University in beautiful Västerås, Sweden, on 29-31 May 2019. Interactional practices in second and additional languages (L2s) have increasingly been researched in language classrooms and other institutional settings as well as in non-institutional contexts that include practices of ‘learning in the wild’. Principles of ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, membership categorization analysis, and usage-based linguistics have equipped researchers with tools to investigate how users of L2s engage in sense making practices, and how they learn and teach in interaction. This social and qualitative trend in L2 interaction research has also fuelled a growing body of studies into interactional competence. In the last decade, interactional competence has become one of the central concepts in Applied Linguistics, contributing to research on language development, the dynamics of L2 use, teaching, teacher education, and oral proficiency assessment. Special issues in Classroom Discourse (Routledge) and Language Testing (SAGE) as well as edited volumes and book-length manuscripts (e.g. Hall, Hellermann and Pekarek Doehler, 2011; Salaberry and Kunitz, forthcoming) have been published to present how interactional practices are manifested and locally managed by users of L2s in institutional and non-institutional settings. This growing body of research has great potential to inform teaching, teacher education, and testing at practitioner level, and there is more need now than ever for bridging research and practice for uncovering the interactional dynamics of teaching and learning. One of the central aims of this conference is to address these broad issues by bringing together researchers who work on interactional practices in L2s to present, discuss, and disseminate cutting-edge research. '''Plenary Speakers''' *Simona Pekarek Doehler, University of Neuchâtel *Steven Thorne, Portland State University *Johannes Wagner, University of Southern Denmark There will be pre-conference methodology workshops for early career researchers and practitioner workshops for teachers of additional languages (details to be announced in September 2018).

| International Education Classroom Interactions 2016 + | 'International Education: Classroom Interactions' 20th June 2016. Berrick Saul building, University of York, Harewood Way, Heslington, York YO10 5DD Details: In an ever globalised world, education systems are being pressured to improve performance, to cater for students from diverse backgrounds and be able to teach as accessibly as possible. UK students are increasingly studying abroad and record numbers of international students are studying in the UK. Research into ‘international education’ has been conducted across a wide range of disciplines focusing on specific aspects, from teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) to improving classroom teaching at UK institutions and making lessons as understandable and challenging for students as possible. This strategic objectives of this conference is to strengthen links made by individuals; groups and research networks with other institutions and partners, as well as enhancing internal, cross-disciplinary collaborations. The realisation of these objectives is served by the constitution of an interdepartmental committee, the diverse themes in the call for papers and the invited speakers. Their diverse methodologies and perspectives on research will broaden the knowledge of delegates quantitatively and qualitatively whilst also fostering the cross-fertilisation of ideas between disciplines. The conference will provide a friendly atmosphere for delegates to enjoy being part of the academic world, focusing on knowledge-sharing and discussion. Delegates will be able to attend talks and poster presentations across themes in education and network during the conference breaks. The aim is to bring together researchers from across disciplines which contribute to international education and provide opportunities to find new collaborators, thus, securing the future of classroom research. The programme of the conference will be organised around current topical themes, likely to include (but not limited to): social interaction, classroom interactional competence, classroom discourse, perceptions of language and identity, teaching methodology, digital and multimodal practices, globalisation and migration, student collaboration and engagement amongst others. http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/IECI2016 + |
