He pioneered a particular approach to the study of human communication. He investigated gaze in interaction long before eye-tracking was possible, he studied bodily organisation in interaction, he documented and analysed alternate sign languages in Australia, and he laid the foundation for the field of Gesture studies asking fundamental questions about the nature and origins of communication. He passed away in Sept. 2022, having just submitted his last book for publication. To celebrate Adam’s life and work we now invite you to a symposium in his honour to take place on Sept 7-8, 2023.
