How do these changes influence, and how are they influenced by, participants in various contexts of work and everyday life? We warmly welcome contributions that outline future trends and present new perspectives on interaction and discourse studies. Presentations may investigate the complexity of different settings, data, methods and theories. We invite papers and posters from different viewpoints, such as: * Methodologies in flux: developing and combining different methods and materials, covering also big data and thick data * Research approaches in flux: reconsidering theories, societal impact of research, researchers' responsibility in engaging in public discourse * Technologies in flux: relationships and interactions with, via and within ubiquitous technologies * Participation in flux: examinations of togetherness, encounters and human sociality in different settings; how access and participation may be redefined, e.g., in working life, education and online environments The theme can be examined from, but is not restricted to, the following research approaches and strategies: action research, activity theory, content analysis, conversation analysis, cultural-historical activity theory, discourse analysis, ethnography, mediated discourse analysis, multimodal interaction analysis, narrative analysis and nexus analysis.
