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. This workshop is part of a series of upcoming CA workshops to be offered at Loughborough University's Centre for Research in Communication and Culture, including Medical interaction, Children's interactions, Discursive Psychology and Membership Categorization Analysis. Upcoming workshops will be advertised during Autumn/Winter 2016-2017. ===Who is running the workshop? === The workshop will be organised and led by Rein Sikveland.
