Abstract
Conversation analysis (CA) has come a long way since its earliest days in the 1960s. This afterword traces its remarkable growth and transformation, following the lead of its most influential scholar, Emanuel Schegloff, whose rigorous empirical approach profoundly shaped the way we understand mundane talk. As the contributors to this handbook have shown, CA has since become both a powerful method for uncovering the details of social interaction and a tool for understanding and improving communication within institutions, such as courtrooms, classrooms, and clinics, as well as in social media exchanges. This expansion reflects a growing collaboration between CA researchers and practitioners, employing both qualitative and mixed methods alongside new technologies, such as video recordings and Zoom meetings. The afterword also highlights the growing significance of social justice perspectives within CA, as well as its ability to illuminate the routines and power structures that influence human interaction.
