| Radboud PhD Candidate: Digital/AI Technologies and Professional Interaction 2023 + | Radboud University is recruiting a PhD candidate for a project on AI/Technology & Professional Interaction PhD Candidate. Candidates may apply with their own research idea (1000 words) falling within the general scope of the position, deadline October 1st. * Employment 1.0 FTE * Gross monthly salary € 2,541 - € 3,247 * Required background Research University Degree * Organizational unit: Faculty of Arts * Application deadline: 01 October 2023 How do AI/digital technologies affect interaction in professionals settings such as care, medicine and education? As a PhD candidate in the field of technology, language and social interaction, you will contribute to the research and value lines of the interdisciplinary hub for digitalisation and society (iHub) and to the research of the Centre for Language Studies (CLS). There are currently many fears about digital technologies including robots and AI replacing humans at work or intervening in work practices. More realistically, recent research shows that automation is affecting certain tasks, rather than entire jobs. That is, humans will increasingly work with robots, AI and other technologies. This project moves beyond the 'grand' questions about AI and work and takes a novel 'micro'-approach to ask how robots/agents/digital technologies affect interaction and work qualitatively and in practice. A special interest will be how social categories (gender, race, class) are observably interrelated with the interaction between or around agents and technologies. The project takes an innovative approach to these questions by drawing on a combination of conversation analysis (and/or membership categorisation analysis) and ethnography of digitally mediated professional interactions. The project falls under 'Expertise and Meaningful Work', one of the four value lines of iHub. PhD supervision is interdisciplinary, including a philosopher and linguist (conversation analyst). You are invited to develop your own research idea within the topic mentioned above; your application letter should include a preliminary sketch of this idea (max. 1,000 words), describing your focus within the proposed research line. The project is expected to include empirical work (data collection and micro-analysis) and a normative/ethical component, for instance reflecting on empirical findings. You will present the research outcomes at national and international conferences, and you will write at least three articles for international high-impact journals, to be included in your dissertation. You will develop yourself by taking courses at the Graduate School of the Humanities (Radboud University) and elsewhere to obtain relevant knowledge and skills, and you will actively participate in iHub activities. You will write a doctoral dissertation and publicly defend it to obtain your doctoral degree at the Faculty of Arts. Profile * You should have or shortly expect to obtain a Master's degree in linguistics, communication science, or another relevant discipline. * You have an excellent command of written and spoken English. * You have excellent academic writing skills. * You have knowledge of and experience in ethnomethodology and/or conversation analysis. A Master's degree involving several months of experience and training on a scientific project will be a strong advantage. * You have strong social skills. * You are able to work in a team as well as independently. * You have well-developed personal management skills. * You have an affinity with interdisciplinary research. * Knowledge of Dutch will be an advantage. + |

Additionally, you will participate in the Graduate School for the Humanities, which includes taking courses for approximately six months and providing six months of academic service to the Faculty of Arts at Radboud University, during which you can prepare yourself for a career after your PhD.<br/> <br/> Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of e-health instruments such as video consultation and health apps has suddenly become common practice in many health settings. This has major implications for medical professional practices that have hardly been investigated. The majority of health professionals lack training in the digitalisation of medical consultation and out of sheer necessity rely on learning on the job. Therefore, research on the digitalisation of medical consultation is urgent if we are to understand medical, professional practices, medical authority and medical communication today and to guide professionals. The aim of this project is twofold. First, this project examines in depth how video technology and use of e-health apps (e.g. patient-generated data) affect medical interactions and thus professional practices. We analyse a multimodal dataset of up to 40 remote video consultations with patients and health professionals using a combination of ethnographic and micro-analytic approaches (conversation analysis and interviews). Second, findings on the digitalisation of medical consultation are used to develop training workshops inspired by a renowned training concept (CARM). By combining communication/ discourse studies (CLS) with organisational studies (the second PhD supervisor is affiliated with the Faculty of Management), this project fulfils the aim of the iHub to enhance interdisciplinary research on digital transformations. Collaboration has been established with Sint Maartenskliniek and two general practices, where video consultation and health apps are used on a daily basis.<br/> The project will be supervised by Wyke Stommel (CLS, Fac. of Arts), Berber Pas (iHub, Fac. of Management), and Wilbert Spooren (CLS, Fac. of Arts). == We ask == * You should hold a Master's degree (or expect to complete your degree before September 2021; preferably a Research Master's degree) in linguistics, communication sciences, social sciences (e.g. business administration), health sciences, or other relevant discipline. * You are trained in qualitative research methods, preferably interview techniques and conversation analysis. * You are result-oriented, capable to manage a research project and able to establish and maintain contacts in the field (e.g. with medical professionals). * You are fluent in both Dutch and English, and have excellent writing skills. * Demonstrable research experience (publications, presentations) will be considered an advantage. * Demonstrable social competence and experience with the development of training for professionals will also be considered an advantage. == We are == The Faculty of Arts employs over 500 academic and support staff in the fields of history and art, languages and cultures, linguistics and communication.

You will be required to manage the details of the data collection; planning and administering the private views and the recording process with support from a student volunteer. Your main task will be to analyse the video material by focusing on the most significant findings, creating a small sample of videos that demonstrate this and taking the lead on interpreting the data. Candidate requirements: You must have a relevant degree at Master’s level and experience in using video analysis in a social science tradition (Heath and Hindmarsh, 2002). Previous experience in working with fine arts or people with dementia would be an advantage.

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

| Resistance Day 7 2022 + | Bogdana Huma and Jack Joyce are delighted to invite you to the 7th Resistance Day held at the University of Oxford on Wednesday, 10th August 2022 with invited speaker, Prof. Ann Weatherall. At the moment we are inviting anyone interested in holding a data session, delivering a presentation or attending. If you are interested in doing something, attending or have any questions please get in touch with Jack (jack.joyce@phc.ox.ac.uk). Full information: Alongside social influence, resistance is a cornerstone social psychological topic. To date, there is no agreement among social psychologists on what resistance is and how it should be studied. Resistance has been discussed in relation to crowd behaviour (Drury, Reicher, & Stott, 2003) and oppressive social influence (Reicher & Haslam, 2006). Here resistance has been treated as a feature of group rather than individual action and has been related to issues of empowerment and legitimacy (Drury & Reicher, 2009). This approach to resistance necessarily draws on scholarship from disciplines such as interactional linguistics, and communication studies, alongside social psychology. In order to forge a solid basis for a cross-disciplinary conceptualisation of resistance, we need more interdisciplinary events that bring together researchers from different backgrounds working on the topic of ‘resistance’. The Resistance Day series brings together scholars who address current conceptual limitations and seek to establish a more robust empirical basis for generalising claims about resistance. These scholars investigate ‘resistance’ as an interactional phenomenon, with each focusing on the practical and collaborative accomplishment of resistance in environments where resistance occurs naturally and is consequential for the accomplishment of core business within those settings. These studies use audio and video recordings from a wide range of settings, analyzing these materials using the methods and cumulative findings of Discursive Psychology (Edwards and Potter, 1992; Tileagă and Stokoe, 2016) and Conversation Analysis (see Clayman and Gill 2012; Goodwin 2000, 2018; Schegloff 2007). + |

| Rial2016 + | « Human 2.0 », « hybrided » or « augmented », « post/transhumanism », « robotic artifacts » of the behavior of communicating and active man, abundance of touch-screen interfaces: many are today the humanoid « avatars » and other imitations of human presence. So many identity and self-image issues, with, at both ends, either a promotion or an alteration of bodies. So many questions are involving also the relations between the body’s discourses with the subjects of language. This symposium aims to establish a dialogue between social sciences, neurosciences and engineering sciences. This dialog is anchored within the context of a certain societal urgency: in fragmenting our approaches to the body, do we not also weaken the unity of man and of his conceptions? In following with previous events linked to similar themes (Researcher in situ, Immersion through body, Norms and deviancies, Montpellier, 2014; Interacting bodies, Lyon, 2005), this international meeting proposes to broach the relation between body, language and technique, within the framework of an unprecedented interdisciplinary dialogue. In this perspective, and because it takes an interest in language related events in their link to social action, including technical knowledge (Duranti, 2002; Fornel, 1994; Goodwin, 2000), in its diversity (Bornand & Leguy, 2013; Lafont, 2004; Londei & Santone, 2013), linguistic anthropology takes a central position, postulating a continuity of communicating bodies, perceiving, feeling, thinking, interacting with both natural and artificial environments, in an analytic perspective aiming to avoid the atomizing of study subjects and their contextual uprooting. Through its interdisciplinary nature, this perspective is able to open a dialogue between the different approaches. In this way, the studies in this field, which are always anchored in an ethnographic context, interrogate the expressions of rationality and praxis (Goody, 1996/1999), in particular in investigations of affects and developmental difficulties (Ochs, 1989; Ochs & Solomon, 2010), of intentionality (Duranti, 2015) and of mediated interactions (Jones & Schieffelin, 2009; Verdier, 2014). Most surely, the models developed in action neurosciences, as well as the works in engineering and robotics would benefit in being discussed through the outlook of these contextualist approaches (Kockelman, 2013). Researchers that question the discourses to the body within the framework of human-machine interactions are strongly encouraged to participate (Suchman, 2007): for example, philosophic works (Andrieu, 2008; Andrieu & Berthoz, 2011), sociologic (Le Breton, 2013), in communication sciences (Renucci, 2014) or neurosciences (Damasio, 2010)… One will crossover research in bodily techniques – of which depends language practice – and in action, mimics or the voice of the living body and the body that is lived. With a dialogue between works on enaction (Varela & al., 1991; Bottineau 2010) and on emersiology (Andrieu, 2015), the aim will be to discuss the manner in which social interactions are linked to linguistic resources and thus insure human existence through the entanglement of the body and the thought processes that accompany it. The plenary presentations (by B. Andrieu, A. Duranti, C. Licoppe, E. Ochs, B. Traimond…), the workshops and roundtables on the issues brought by human-machine interactions, including the relation between body and language, will bring together the actors in engineering sciences and neurosciences with anthropologists, linguists, philosophers and psychologists. Works can be submitted depending on the different perspectives proposed as following: • Emotional and cognitive incorporations • Linguistic anthropology for human-machine interactions • Anthropology for communicating bodies • Discursive circulations on body and technology (see infra developments). + |
