| Workshop Conversation analysis and healthcare interactions 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 + |

| Workshop on CA Transcription 4th November 2016 + | We are holding a series of Conversation Analysis workshops, to suit everyone from complete beginners to established researchers looking for some specialist top-up. Each workshop will be led by a CA expert, and feature a good deal of hands-on data analysis, group work and feedback, all in an informal but hard-working atmosphere. Workshop on CA Transcription Rein Sikveland (Specialist in CA transcription, prosody and instititutonal data) 10.00-17.00 on Friday 4th November 2016. This is a practical workshop to develop the transcription skills of PhD students and researchers using conversation analysis (CA). The workshop focuses primarily on the Jeffersonian convention, and includes exercises in phonetic listening skills, digital data management and anonymization. Some familiarity with conversation analysis and data collection would be an advantage. Data and materials are supplied on the day. For more details Please see the Transcription workshop's webpage: http://www.carmtraining.org/ca-transcription + |

The special theme of the conference in 2016 will be "Discouse markers". + |
| Workshop on the Microsociality of the Giftee, ERQ conference, Bergamo 2020 + | * MICRO-SOCIALITY OF THE GIFTEE * Doing Status in Interaction: Charisma and Privilege * Convenors: Chiara Bassetti (University of Trento) & Emanuele Bottazzi (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche) * Contacts: chiara.bassetti@unitn.it, emanuele.bottazzi@loa.istc.cnr.it What is to be dominant in an everyday situation like at site seeing with friends, queuing at the grocery store or dancing in a club? In looking at how class distinction, or status, becomes salient and plays out in situated interaction, Di Maggio leverages theories from Bernestein, Bourdieu, and Collins, and concludes that “class identities are not very stable, not very salient, and only weakly elaborated” (p. 30) and asks therefore how to distinguish between “effects caused by social-class differences […] from generic effects situationally emergent social power and subordination” (ibid.)? This is particularly complex in those situations where, in his own terms, there is no script for the interaction, and no information on the participant/s’ status is available to the other one/s, as it happens for instance when asking information to a stranger in the street. This qualifies, therefore, as an intriguing empirical field for researching how the “dominance of the situation” (Collins 2009) comes to be in interaction. As status is multidimensional, several sources of power may be considered. Weber (1968) identified three sources: traditional, bureaucratic and charismatic. How to account for this at the micro-interactional level? For instance, charisma must be considered also taking into account non-conceptual dimensions, such as rhythm (Bassetti, Bottazzi 2015), whereas the other two forms of power hold a clear conceptual dimension. The original meaning of the word charisma is, in Greek, gifted, in the most basic sense of the term (a gift given to someone). To be the recipient of a gift (giftee) is to entertain a relationship with a desirable object, a relationship that may configure itself as one of situated dominance. If to be charismatic can be seen at times as being talented, to be a giftee can be seen not only as being talented but also as being the receiver of something (the issuer being God, your family, another individual…). And thus somewhat invested of power. Alongside charisma, what other sources of situational dominance are there? Is there something else to be considered that may contribute to one’s dominance in interaction. Privilege (being white, being male, being rich, etc.) is one of these candidates, as being a giftee and being charismatic share with being privileged the fact of existing without the necessity of being asked or searched for. To be gifted, to be charismatic and to be privileged appear to be somewhat close when they estrinsecate themselves in situated interaction. They are treated and thought of —managed one could say— in very similar ways, although such ways range from attraction and adoration, to resistance, and possibly, to hostility, aggression, despise. === Open Questions === Can privilege also be a source of charismatic power in micro-interaction? To put it differently, how do power sources intersect (hooks 1981, 2000)? Are being charismatic, gifted and privileged three disjointed categories or are there overlaps? More generally, what does it mean “doing status” in interaction? How does status play out in the making of the orderliness of a given interaction? Which is the role of the context —e.g. degree of scriptedness and availability of information on the participants— in this? Or, can charisma and privilege be equivocated in interaction, such that the situated charismatic leader can be revealed as just being a privileged one? Is this a relevant nexus between the conceptual and the nonconceptual dimension? How to deal with the issue of the awareness of participants in their fascination for the giftee? What is to be aware of the privilege? === Keywords === Charisma, privilege, giftee, situated dominance, doing status, intersectionality, (non)conceptual dimension. === Fields of Study === Intersectionality studies, gender studies, studies of power and inequalities, micro-sociology, ethnomethodology, contemporary sociological theory, philosophy of the social sciences, social ontology === References === Bassetti, C, Bottazzi, E.

| YorCCA 2025 + | The York Conference on Conversation Analysis (YorCCA) is a PhD-led conference at the University of York, designed for PhD researchers in Conversation Analysis to present their work, receive feedback, and engage with established academics. The 2025 conference will take place on Friday 18th July, with two invited speakers, Paul Drew and Lorenza Mondada, and presentations from PhD researchers. In-person attendees can also participate in CA skills workshops led by the invited speakers on Saturday 19th July. The Call for Papers is now open, with a submission deadline of Tuesday 22nd April 2025 + |
| YorCCA 2026 Conference + | The conference welcomes submissions from current postgraduate researchers and recent PhD graduates (PhD award date: 2023 or later) for in-person presentations or posters. The research must use conversation analysis as its primary methodology (including interactional linguistics, multimodal CA, and/or EMCA) and be based on audio-video recordings of naturally-occurring social interaction. All presentations should include audio-video clips (unless the sensitive nature of the data prevents this for ethical reasons). The in-person presentations will be 20-minutes followed by a 10-minute discussion period. The posters will be presented at an in-person poster session during the conference. Abstract guidance If you would like to present at the conference, please submit an abstract and indicate your preferred format (presentation or poster). With respect to content, the abstract should: clearly describe the interactional phenomenon the research examines; include a statement about the nature of the data, the size of the collection, and the specific analytic techniques used; provide a sample analysis of the interactional phenomenon based on a short transcript; summarise the study’s main findings or conclusions, however tentative; and consider the wider contribution and implication of the research. For an example of a well-structured abstract from a different field, please see the guidelines from Nature: How to construct a Nature summary paragraph. You’re not expected to follow these guidelines but may find them useful as inspiration. Although we expect most studies presented at the conference will be based on collections of cases, we will also consider detailed single case analyses, especially where these examine rare or elusive interactional phenomena. With respect to the format of the submission, the abstract: should be no longer than 300 words (excluding the transcript); should include a short transcript that uses standard CA conventions (which does not contribute to the word count); and should not include your name, email address, or affiliation to facilitate the double-blind review process. Abstract submission To submit an abstract, please complete the following form by Friday 10 April 2026: YorCCA 2026 abstract submission form. Notification of outcomes will be sent by email in early May 2026. Early notification is provided to enable visa holders to attend. Please contact yorcca@york.ac.uk with any queries. + |

| York Conversation Analysis: An Introduction and Overview June 2017 + | Conversation Analysis: An Introduction and Overview 12 June 2017 In the last thirty years, Conversation Analysis has become the preeminent method for the analysis of naturally occurring interaction. Despite its name, CA studies all forms of talk-in-interaction in institutional or work related settings as well as in ordinary conversation. It also studies embodied behaviours such as gaze, gesture, and movement. In this course, we introduce the history and principles of CA, sketch some of its main analytic procedures, and show how it offers a indepth view of how we use talk in social interaction, and how these analytic practices inform a radical methodology in sociology. This course is recommended for people with no prior knowledge of CA who just want to get a basic understanding of its distinctive approach, and those who intend to go on to take the more technical CA skills training programmes offered in the Department.

| York-Short-MedicalEMCA-Course-Jan2020 + | * Communication in Healthcare Interactions * 6-8 January 2020 * Merran Toerien, Clare Jackson, Kat Connabeer, and Paul Drew We are offering a short course in researching medical and healthcare interactions, hosted and organized by the Centre for Advanced Studies in Language and Communication at the University of York. The course is designed to beneNit those beginning or in the early stages of research into med- ical, clinical and healthcare interactions; it will also be relevant for healthcare professionals interested in communication. The programme will include lectures on a range of integrated topics, directed exercises, as well as practical hands-on sessions giving participants experience in analyzing data, using the perspective and methods of Conversation Analysis (CA). Practical sessions will therefore be focused on applying CA’s methodology, not only in the detailed analysis of particular medical/health care interactions but also in working on collections of significant patterns to be found in healthcare interactions, as well as discussion of the analytic challenges involved in coding of these patterns. The data used throughout will be real-life, authentic medical interactions – based on the considerable experience each of us has had working in a range of divers medical set- tings (these include primary care, oncology, neurology, seizure clinics, memory clinics, maternity units, medical helplines). Our research has focused on aspects of the effectiveness of communication, on patient-centred medicine and patient choice, the role of communication in diagnosis, etc. We will draw on our own datasets and research findings across the practical elements of this workshop. Our aim is to assist participants in developing research skills, through enhancing their under- standing of CA’s methodology, and their ability to apply CA in their investigations of medical inter- actions. Prior experience of CA will be a real advantage, but is not a pre-requisite, for this work- shop. While it is not possible to learn CA from scratch in just three days, the workshop is intended to equip participants with practical analytic skills, which should be applicable to their own future work. We hope that the workshop will further inspire participants in their research. The number of participants will be restricted to 20, in order to ensure that there is ample opportunity for all to participate in the practical sessions. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration The cost of the course is £380 for salaried researchers and faculty or £280 for postgraduate stu- dents. This includes course materials, a CertiNicate of Attendance, lunches, tea and coffee for the three days, and one dinner together on the evening before the final day.

| YorkShortCourse-Dec2019 + | Introduction to Conversation Analysis 11-13 December 2019 Paul Drew, Kobin Kendrick, Richard Ogden, and Merran Toerien Conversation Analysis (CA) is increasingly widely used as a research methodology in Sociology, Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Social Psychology, the Health Sciences and other related disci- plines. We are offering a short course designed to give an introduction to the basic principles and methods of CA, focusing on three core topics: (i) turn-taking and overlap, (ii) sequence organization and preference and (iii) repair. The course is intended for those who have had little previous experience with conversation analysis but who are interested in what it might offer them in their own research and are considering whether to use this method in their doctoral or post-doctoral research. It may also serve as a refresher course for those with some previous experience of CA and who now want to teach or conduct research in this area. Ideally participants will already have or have plans to record their own data. Participants may therefore be at an earlier stage in planning their re- search. The course would suit graduate and post-doc researchers in any relevant discipline. The course will be limited to no more than 20 participants so that we can work intensively to develop basic skills in data analysis and to understand the three core topics to be covered. While it is not possible to learn CA from scratch in just three days, we will introduce partici- pants to key analytic tools and methodological techniques in analysing data, including reading CA transcripts, making collections of phenomena and analysing interactional patterns and prac- tices. The course will be organised through talks and practical activities and exercises, with an emphasis on hands-on work with data. The short training course is intended to equip researchers to: * understand and apply the basic concepts of CA; * explore three fundamental organizations of conversation; * identify speciXic interactional patterns and phenomena in conversational data; * understand the importance of making collections as a step towards analysis; and * consider whether CA might be an appropriate methodology for their research. Registration The cost of the course is £380 for salaried researchers and faculty or £280 for postgraduate students. This includes course materials, a CertiXicate of Attendance, lunches, tea and coffee for the three days, and one dinner together on the evening before the Xinal day.

His current work focuses on click ('tut-tut' or 'tsk') sounds in English. Merran Toerien is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology. She has expertise in the application of conversation analysis to communication in institutional settings, with a particu- lar interest in patient choice. She has extensive experience of teaching CA at undergraduate and graduate levels, and has run workshops in South Africa, China, the Netherlands and the UK. + |
