| VUAmsPhD2025 + | 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.

| VURA2023 + | Job opportunity for research assistant Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam The Language and Communication department is seeking a research assistant to work with dr. Elliott Hoey on an NWO-funded project “Recording under scrutiny: Dissecting disagreements over recording devices in encounters between police and bystanders” (406.XS.04.218). <li>Employment: 12 months at .75fte (schaal 103)</li> <li>Salary: €2134 gross/mo, plus 8% vacation and 8.3% year-end bonus (other conditions apply for currently enrolled students)</li> <li>Location: Amsterdam/remote</li> <li>Application deadline: September 20, 2023</li> <li>Zoom interviews: Final week of September</li> <li>Start date: October 2023</li> To apply, send your CV and one-page cover letter explaining your motivation and research background with interactional analysis of video to e.m.hoey@vu.nl. Project description: With the ubiquity of smartphone cameras and the rapid implementation of police body-worn cameras, modern policing has transformed into a ‘high visibility’ occupation. This increased scrutiny of police work bears major consequences for police accountability and oversight. In this new era of citizens watching the police, a distinct type of interaction has emerged: police interacting with bystanders who are recording them. These interactions embody the changing dynamic in police-community relations, but are poorly understood despite the critical need for such research. In a recent study, 76% of police officers in the US reported insufficient training on how to manage civilians recording them, and about half reported feeling as if their situational awareness was negatively impacted as a result. Moreover, police perceptions of bystander video trend largely negative, with attitudinal reports commonly featuring distress, distrust, and distraction. To address this knowledge gap, this project will examine video recordings of real police-bystander encounters where their recording devices are made salient. I will ask how recording devices figure into these conversations: who raises the matter of recording? How is the act of recording resisted, sustained, and terminated? And how do police offers productively respond to recording bystanders? This innovative project will expand our theoretical understanding of policing in the video age by examining police accountability-in-action and will provide a much-needed empirical grounding for future police guidance and training on bystander recordings. Requirements <li>MA in the language or communication sciences</li> <li>Research experience with conversation analysis</li> <li>Ability to work independently with little supervision</li> <li>Organizational skills in managing data</li> <li>Excellent command of English.

| Who Makes The Decisions During Childbirth? A talk presented by University of York (2022) + | '''Who makes the decisions during childbirth and how?''' Dr Clare Jackson, Department of Sociology '''Details''' Date: Thursday 17 March 2022 Time: 6.30-7.30pm (GMT) Where: Online visit https://bit.ly/3I49FyA to register '''Event Description - International Women's Month event''' Who makes the decisions during labour and birth and how do they do it? This online event showcases findings from new research on this question. Conversation analysis (CA) of real-time video and audio recordings of labour and birth shows how interactions between women in labour, midwives and birth partners take place in midwife-led units. Join Dr Clare Jackson from the University of York and the Study Team to find out more about the research findings and discuss how decisions get made and why the detail of talk during birth matters. '''About the Speakers''' Clare Jackson is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of York. Her research uses conversation analysis (CA), which is a method for understanding how talk works. Her recent work uses CA to examine how decisions are made in healthcare discussions. Ellen Annandale is a Professor of Sociology at the University of York. Her research focuses on gender and health, reproduction and childbirth. She is the author of several books, including Women’s Health and Social Change. Sian Beynon-Jones is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of York. She has a longstanding research interest in the sociology of reproduction, and has been involved in a number of projects exploring aspects of pregnancy and birth.

| Wolverhampton RA 2023 + | There is a research associate post advertised at the University of Wolverhampton, working on a project around stigma and gambling – funded by GambleAware. The post will be broadly mixed methods, but there is a large qualitative component. One study will use discourse analysis, so applicants with this expertise would be particularly welcomed. For more information on the post, including job description, please see the following link: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CYA691/research-associate. Deadline for applications is 5th April. Any questions please contact Dr Jo Lloyd (joanne.lloyd@wlv.ac.uk). ----- Researchers in the School of Psychology are seeking to appoint a Research Associate for a fixed term contract, funded by a grant from GambleAware. This is a full time temporary position until June 2024. The team are conducting a study into the stigmatisation of people who experience gambling related harms in Great Britain, in collaboration with the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), funded by a grant from GambleAware. There is compelling evidence to demonstrate that people experiencing gambling harms encounter stigma, and that this stigma can be a barrier to help-seeking, but there is much we do not yet fully understand about the process. This study will seek to establish how people who experience gambling harms are stigmatised across different contexts, including potential stigmatisation from service and healthcare providers; civil society and the third sector; the community and families; popular media and political discourse; and the gambling industry. It will investigate which communities are disproportionately impacted by stigmatisation and why; and how stigma affects multiply-marginalised populations experiencing gambling related harms alongside challenges such as substance use issues, mental health conditions, minority status, homelessness. It will aim to identify the kinds of services, interventions, information campaigns and policies necessary to challenge stigmatisation and reduce associated harms. The Research Associate will need to deal with sensitive material relating to participants’ (and stakeholders’) experiences of gambling-related harms and stigmatisation. Thus, it is essential for you to demonstrate experience in, and willingness towards, working with vulnerable and challenging populations and/or researching sensitive topics. You will be expected to work independently and to take on responsibility in liaising with a variety of external stakeholders. You will also be expected to assist with the writing of reports and academic articles. Some travel may be required to carry out a small number of face-to-face interviews (this can be via public transport or own vehicle, and travel expenses are available). Occasional evening or weekend working may be required. You will hold a good relevant first degree or equivalent in Psychology or a closely related discipline, with a strong emphasis on relevant research topics, research methods and data analysis. You must have demonstrable significant experience in qualitative research with quantitative research methods also required to undertake this post. This will typically necessitate holding a PhD (or being near completion of a PhD) in psychology or closely related area – but applicants with equivalent practical research experience will also be considered. All applicants must be fluent in spoken and written English. Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Joanne Lloyd (joanne.lloyd@wlv.ac.uk) The University of Opportunity for Students and Staff As part of our commitment to ensure the diversity of our staff body reflects those of the student and local communities we serve, we particularly welcome applications from candidates of Black, Asian, or Ethnic Minority heritage, and candidates who are Disabled (including people who may not define themselves as disabled, but nevertheless encounter challenges) + |
