Question Design as a Window into Social Institutions:
A Webinar with Steven Clayman (University of California, Los Angeles)
In conversation analysis, research findings are also resources for analysis. The more you learn about what previous research tells us about how interaction is organized, the more resources you have for understanding whatever data you may encounter in your own research. The more commonplace and recurrent the phenomenon, the more powerful it is as an analytic resource. Against this backdrop, question design is tantamount to a skeleton key for the study of institutional talk. Because so many occupational and professional tasks are managed through the exchange of questions and answers, a grasp of question design can provide a vivid window into occupational norms, practical pressures, and other context-specific concerns as they are managed in the give and take of everyday interchange. In this webinar, we will sketch some fundamental dimensions of question design, and show how they provide leverage for the study of institutional talk in various forms with examples drawn from medical and legal settings.
