- Uni Oulu (in-person) Seminar August 24-25 ‘Studying technologized social interaction: Trends and challenges’ + (Welcome to a two-day (free-of-charge) semi … Welcome to a two-day (free-of-charge) seminar on the theme of ‘Studying technologized social interaction: Trends and challenges’. The event is organised in collaboration with COACT (Complexity of (inter)action and multimodal participation) and GenZ, and it takes place on August 24-25 in Oulu. The venue for the event is Nordic Art Hotel Lasaretti. We hope to make it a fully on-site event, but for some parts/sessions, remote participation is also possible. The aim is to bring together scholars with a shared interest in the study of “technologized interactions” (Hutchby, 2001, 2014) and address the following questions: What are the emerging trends and possibilities the use of technologies in our daily lives has created for social interaction research? What are the complexities and challenges when conducting such research? We invite scholars working on video recorded data from any kind of technology-mediated or technology-supported setting (e.g., educational, professional, mundane) to come and share their research and thoughts, but anyone interested in the topic is warmly welcome. The event is targeted at both early-stage and more experienced researchers. The seminar consists of 1) a talk by an invited speaker, Dr. Stuart Reeves from the University of Nottingham (http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszsr/), 2) a workshop where we will address methodological, conceptual and practical challenges for carrying out research on technologized settings and share (potential) solutions, and 3) presentations (e.g., of research findings/settings/data) by the attendees (30 min/presenter). It is up to each presenter to decide how they wish to spend their time (e.g., how much time to spend on the presentation and joint discussion). Here is our preliminary schedule for the two days: '''Wednesday August 24th, 2022''' 9:00-9:15 Opening & introductions 9:15-11:30 Invited speaker: Dr. Stuart Reeves 11:30-12:45 Lunch 12:45-14:15 Workshop 14:15-14:45 Coffee break 14:45-16:00 Workshop (cont.) 18:00 Dinner '''Thursday August 25th, 2022''' 9:00-11:30 Presentations/Data 11:30-13:00 Lunch 13:00-14:30 Presentations/Data 14:30-15 Closing '''Register for the event by August 10th, 2022''' https://bit.ly/3QEj2uyby August 10th, 2022''' https://bit.ly/3QEj2uy)

- LboroAdvancedCA2019 + (Workshop in Advanced Conversation Analysis … Workshop in Advanced Conversation Analysis Loughborough University 23-25 September 2019 Conversation analysis (CA) is used in the scientific study of social interaction, ranging from mundane to institutional settings. CA is used to examine how people accomplish social activities through the use of talk and other semiotic resources (including the non-verbal). CA studies range from basic work on the fundamentals of human interaction, to applied research aimed at contributing to service improvement. What does this workshop cover? The 3-day workshop will provide an overview of advanced topics in CA research as well as key prospects and problems in CA methodology. The workshop aims to build on the skills that participants already have in CA methods of analysis. How is the workshop structured? This workshop will run from 1pm to 6pm on the first day and then 9am-6pm on the second day, and 9am-5pm on the third day. Short presentations by the facilitators will cover advanced aspects of CA and its applications to various areas of inquiry. Most of the workshop will be dedicated to practical sessions and hands-on analytic work. Participants will work in small groups on data provided by the facilitators. They will identify an original phenomenon and will share their findings in a short, informal group presentation towards the end of the workshop. The analytic work will be supported by the facilitators. Facilitators: Saul Albert, Charles Antaki, Ruth Parry, Marco Pino, Jessica Robles, Rein Sikveland, Elizabeth Stokoe. Who is the workshop for? The workshop is open to postgraduates, post-docs, researchers and faculty who have a good knowledge of CA and wish to consolidate their analytic skills.

How different would this make our communication? Relying on a large corpus of naturally occurring recordings of spontaneous social interaction, this book explores all of the ways that we confirm questions in our everyday social lives. In The Book of Answers, the author analyzes what these different ways of responding allow us to do that is unique to each answer type. When do we answer with Yeah rather than He is, for instance; or when do we use more complicated forms of confirming? This information provides us with the basic response possibility space. From that point we can examine what the range of responses, in particular answers, tells us about what is important to us in managing social relationships through social interaction. The book explains that we can conceptualize the response possibility space as having three dimensions: alignment, autonomy, and affiliation. Speakers rely on the details of their response to position themselves at a particular point in that three-dimensional space, sometimes accepting trade-offs among the dimensions to achieve a stance that is higher in alignment and autonomy and lower in affiliation or higher in affiliation and autonomy but lower in alignment. The Book of Answers uses real-life conversations to find hidden patterns in how we do things together such as reach decisions, tell stories, or arrive at agreement or disagreement. Delving into the science of how we talk, this book investigates what those patterns tell us about human communication and our social lives. Get 40% off at OUP with this QR code before August 24th.es.

So many identity and self-image issues, with, at both ends, either a promotion or an alteration of bodies. So many questions are involving also the relations between the body’s discourses with the subjects of language. This symposium aims to establish a dialogue between social sciences, neurosciences and engineering sciences. This dialog is anchored within the context of a certain societal urgency: in fragmenting our approaches to the body, do we not also weaken the unity of man and of his conceptions? In following with previous events linked to similar themes (Researcher in situ, Immersion through body, Norms and deviancies, Montpellier, 2014; Interacting bodies, Lyon, 2005), this international meeting proposes to broach the relation between body, language and technique, within the framework of an unprecedented interdisciplinary dialogue. In this perspective, and because it takes an interest in language related events in their link to social action, including technical knowledge (Duranti, 2002; Fornel, 1994; Goodwin, 2000), in its diversity (Bornand & Leguy, 2013; Lafont, 2004; Londei & Santone, 2013), linguistic anthropology takes a central position, postulating a continuity of communicating bodies, perceiving, feeling, thinking, interacting with both natural and artificial environments, in an analytic perspective aiming to avoid the atomizing of study subjects and their contextual uprooting. Through its interdisciplinary nature, this perspective is able to open a dialogue between the different approaches. In this way, the studies in this field, which are always anchored in an ethnographic context, interrogate the expressions of rationality and praxis (Goody, 1996/1999), in particular in investigations of affects and developmental difficulties (Ochs, 1989; Ochs & Solomon, 2010), of intentionality (Duranti, 2015) and of mediated interactions (Jones & Schieffelin, 2009; Verdier, 2014). Most surely, the models developed in action neurosciences, as well as the works in engineering and robotics would benefit in being discussed through the outlook of these contextualist approaches (Kockelman, 2013). Researchers that question the discourses to the body within the framework of human-machine interactions are strongly encouraged to participate (Suchman, 2007): for example, philosophic works (Andrieu, 2008; Andrieu & Berthoz, 2011), sociologic (Le Breton, 2013), in communication sciences (Renucci, 2014) or neurosciences (Damasio, 2010)… One will crossover research in bodily techniques – of which depends language practice – and in action, mimics or the voice of the living body and the body that is lived. With a dialogue between works on enaction (Varela & al., 1991; Bottineau 2010) and on emersiology (Andrieu, 2015), the aim will be to discuss the manner in which social interactions are linked to linguistic resources and thus insure human existence through the entanglement of the body and the thought processes that accompany it. The plenary presentations (by B. Andrieu, A. Duranti, C. Licoppe, E. Ochs, B. Traimond…), the workshops and roundtables on the issues brought by human-machine interactions, including the relation between body and language, will bring together the actors in engineering sciences and neurosciences with anthropologists, linguists, philosophers and psychologists. Works can be submitted depending on the different perspectives proposed as following: • Emotional and cognitive incorporations • Linguistic anthropology for human-machine interactions • Anthropology for communicating bodies • Discursive circulations on body and technology (see infra developments).sive circulations on body and technology (see infra developments).)

The student will be based in the Medical Sociology & Health Experiences research group and supervised by [https://www.phc.ox.ac.uk/team/rebecca-barnes Dr Rebecca Barnes], with internal and external collaborators. The [https://www.phc.ox.ac.uk/research/health_experiences Medical Sociology & Health Experiences] research group has an international reputation as a centre of excellence in qualitative methods and social science informed research. We do applied research directed to making a positive difference to health and care. Risk work is integral to urgent primary care encounters (e.g., NHS 111, GP Out-of-Hours, Urgent Treatment Centres), but many features of interpreting, communicating, and recording risk remain poorly understood and under researched. Without greater understanding, we cannot provide adequate guidance to clinicians about what information to share with patients or advise patients (or their family members) about what questions to ask to keep them safe. It could also mean that policies or guidelines that address risk problems might have unintended consequences. This funded DPhil/PhD studentship is a unique opportunity to understand the process of interpreting, communicating, and recording risk for different patient groups (e.g., terminally ill people, very sick children and older people who are living with frailty) during urgent contacts with primary care services. You will undertake a mixed methods study, at the heart of which will be a conversation analysis of recorded urgent primary care encounters. Conversation analysis is an inductive qualitative approach to the analysis of recorded social interaction, focusing on verbal and bodily conduct. Detailed comparative analysis of multiple episodes allows identification and explication of recurrent patterns and their social interactional consequences. Through this research your findings will highlight areas of risk work clinicians, patients (and/or their family members) currently find challenging, and whether there are recurring contexts for these challenges, as well as successful strategies developed by participants to negotiate and overcome them. Findings will be disseminated to clinicians and policy makers with the assistance of the supervisory team. '''Award details''' This three-year award covers full university fees at the home rate, with a maintenance stipend of £20,775 per annum and support for research training, as well as research activity.

- Comparative Perspectives on Doctor-Patient Interactions 2023 + (“Comparative Perspectives on Doctor-Patien … “Comparative Perspectives on Doctor-Patient Interactions” (CDPI) is a hybrid international conference organised by the research group linkage team on the project “Interactive Dynamics and Contexts of Nigerian and German Doctor-Patient-Encounters” (funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation) to be hosted at the University of Bayreuth, Germany and in the virtual space, from 3rd to 5th of October 2023. Within Conversation Analysis (CA) and Linguistic Pragmatics, the investigation of doctor-patient interactions has become one of the most dominant branches of research and “has expanded to include interactions in a variety of specialty care settings as well as in allied fields such as pharmacy and dentistry” (Teas Gill & Roberts 2013: 575). While studies in Medical CA (e.g., Heritage 2017, Fatigante, et al. 2020) or Medical Pragmatics (e.g., Odebunmi 2021) usually include – at least implicitly – a comparative perspective in the way that they relate their own results to previous findings in corresponding or similar interaction types, only few studies have explicitly compared conversational phenomena across data sets originating from different linguistic/cultural/national contexts until now. Exceptions are e.g. the studies by Bergen, et al. (2018) and Boluwaduro & Groß (2019). The former investigates differences between US American and British interactions with regards to the manifestation of patients’ resistance against treatment recommendation showing that distinct behavioural trends may reflect distinct cultural norms of good-practices. Boluwaduro & Groß (2019) compare the conversational impact of the “How are you (doing)” opening question in Nigerian and German HIV consultations and conversely show that one identical practice might have distinct conversational consequences and thus contextualise distinct norms. In order to shift the attention to this promising research area we call for contributions that explicitly take a comparative perspective on doctor-patient interactions within Medical Conversation Analysis, Discourse Analysis, Linguistic Pragmatics, Sociolinguistics, Corpus Linguistics and Health Communication. We look forward to proposals that explore doctor-patient interactions focusing on interactional phenomena from a comparative view in the sense that they compare linguistic choices, conversational practices and actions within the same interaction type (such as HIV consultations, first consultations at the general practitioner etc.) in different linguistic/cultural/national contexts. Comparative investigations may also be triggered by emphasising the contextualization of social factors like gender, social class and educational background, the role of interpreter-mediation in multilingual interactions compared to monolingual interactions, as well as the relevance of the medical setting (in vs. out patient etc.). We welcome contributions which relate their analyses to theoretical concepts of health science, such as paternalism/humanism, shared decision making, informed choice (e.g., Albus & Koerfer 2015), asymmetry (e.g., Pilnick & Dingwall 2011), subjective illness theories (e.g., Birkner & Vlassenko 2015) or to pragmatic theories, including face theories (e.g., Arundale 2020; Goffman 1967), politeness theories (Locher & Watts 2015; Kadar & Haugh 2013; Brown & Levinson 1978, identity theories (e.g., Simon 2004), common ground theories (e.g., Clark & Brennan 1991; Kecskes & Zhang 2009) etc. Abstracts (max. 350 words, plus references) should clearly indicate the objective(s), methodology and results of the study. Presentations will typically be scheduled in sessions of 30 minutes allocated to each individual presentation. We also plan a poster session conducted in the virtual space. Submissions should be sent to the conference committee via email at CDPI@uni-bayreuth.de, and should include information whether they are meant for an oral presentation or a poster.

- 4th Conference of The Schutz Circle 2018 + (“Fake news,” “Alternative Facts,” “Lying p … “Fake news,” “Alternative Facts,” “Lying press” – slogans like this indicate that something has been set in motion within the information society that might have the potential to re-define the socio-politically established borderlines between true and false, right and wrong. Considering this trend, The International Alfred Schutz Circle for Phenomenology and Interpretive Sociology chooses the subject area of knowledge, nescience and the (new) media as the central topic for its 4th Conference. Seen from a phenomenological point of view, what stands behind the development in question can be described as a shift in the relevance system of the (late/post-)modern subject: less and less knowledge is based on first-hand experience, more and more knowledge is the result of mediation processes and thus depends upon the alleged authority of others. Instead of fostering the Enlightenment’s ideal of using one’s own understanding, mediatization thus seems to expose the societal construction of reality to manipulation and propaganda both of which address the emotional rather than the intellectual aspect of the citizen. Decidedly starting from the perspective of a sociology and phenomenology of the life-world, participants shall address questions on the level of (1) description, (2) analysis, and (3) evaluation: (1) What counts as a “fact” in the new media? How are evidence and social acceptance created, how is knowledge legitimated within a “virtual” community? (2) Is there a special kind of thou-orientation towards the “virtual” other? Is there a special quality to communication via the internet, one that renders internet users more easily deceived (talking of social bots)? (3) Is there a need to secure reality construction against fabrication and de-legitimation in the context of the new media? Is the well-informed citizen still a possible and desirable ideal in face of the information explosion with which humankind is confronted nowadays? Besides the general focus on “Knowledge, Nescience and the (New) Media,” there will be sessions in addition that are principally open to other topics within the Schutzian paradigm. Paper proposals are not necessarily bound to the main topic of the conference. Session proposals are also welcome. Propositions have to be written in English. Please submit an abstract of approximately 500 words. To be considered all presentation proposals must include a cover sheet with name, paper title, affiliation, five key words, and full contact information including email. For more information, see our website www.schutzcircle.org. The Ilse Schutz Memorial Prize of $750 will be awarded for the best paper presented by a graduate student or faculty member who has not yet reached the rank of Associate or Full Professor. Please submit full papers until the submission deadline.full papers until the submission deadline.)
- PhD Position Multimodal and Pragmatic Alignment in Dialogue + (“Multimodal and Pragmatic Alignment in Dia … “Multimodal and Pragmatic Alignment in Dialogue” Content Description We are looking for a PhD candidate to study the multimodal and pragmatic aspects of interactive alignment and mutual understanding in dialogue. In dialogue, mutual understanding is achieved interactively and incrementally by means of sequences of communicative turns. While turns have long been treated as speech-only constructs, in their most common realisation (face-to-face social interaction) they are multimodal, combining both visuospatial and verbal resources. Studying the multimodal and sequential aspects of interactive alignment provides new ways to characterise and quantify how communicative choices are shaped and constrained by the differential affordances of visuospatial and verbal representational formats, and what this implies for their contributions towards shared representations. The position is embedded in the larger project “Creating a shared cognitive space: the use of language in interaction”. The basic data, collected in coordination with closely related subprojects, will form a multimodal corpus of dyadic interactions in coordination tasks. A key goal of the larger project is to integrate distinct levels of analysis. We are therefore looking for candidates with a high affinity for interdisciplinary work. Requirements You should have a Research Master’s (or equivalent) in linguistics, cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, or any other relevant field of study, and you should have native or near-native competence in spoken Dutch (as the primary data will be in Dutch). You should have strong skills in statistics, data science and computational modelling (e.g. Bayesian modelling). You should have experience with multimodal and/or corpus analysis of linguistic data, and familiarity with psycholinguistic work on alignment and gesture. Experience with EEG and fMRI imaging methods is desirable, but not mandatory. Applications from excellent candidates with a less than ideal profile will be equally considered. Embedding and Terms of employment You will be based at the Centre for Language Studies, Faculty of Arts, Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands. Employment: 1.0 FTE; in addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus; the starting salary is €2,191 per month and will increase to €2,801 per month in the fourth year; you will be appointed for an initial period of 18 months, after which your performance will be evaluated. If the evaluation is positive, the contract will be extended by 2.5 years; the Collective Labour Agreement (CAO) of Dutch Universities is applicable to this position; you will be classified as PhD Candidate (promovendus) in the Dutch university job-ranking system (UFO); the institutes involved have regulations in place that enable their staff to create a good work-life balance.

- An introduction to Membership Categorisation Analysis 29-30 Nov 2023 + (• Title: An introduction to Membership Cat … • Title: An introduction to Membership Categorisation Analysis • Date: 29/11/2023 - 30/11/2023 • Organised by: University of Liverpool • Presenter: Dr Robin James Smith • Level: Entry (no or almost no prior knowledge) • Contact: Dr Billie-Gina Thomason, engage@liverpool.ac.uk • Venue: Online or in-person at Cardiff University School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University, Glamorgan Building, King Edward VII Cardiff, CF10 3WT • Description: The central concern of Membership Categorisation Analysis (MCA) is the description of the array of categorisation practices observable in members’ “naturally-organised activities”. This workshop is focused on exploring and understanding what Harvey Sacks called the “member’s machinery” and how that foundation was later developed into a concern with the analysis of “culture-in-action”. Sacks’ early analyses considered how relevant categories are ‘used’ not only to categorise individuals as ‘representative’ members of a given category but, in a broader sense, to both produce and recognise the orderly character that scenes and activities observably have. In this sense, MCA is not a formal method of inquiry as such but forms a live ‘resource’ for members in the accomplishment of reasoning, sense-making, and social organisation. For members, such practices are employed in a range of everyday practices both in forms of talk and conversation (e.g. in telling a story about some event), but also in mobility practices (such as forming a queue or ‘flow file’ in public space) or accomplishing visual order (for example, of producing and viewing memes). For analysts, an attentiveness to categorisation practices provides a powerful means of accessing people’s “improvised cultural practices” (Hester and Francis, 2017) which provide the very grounds upon which the sense of the world is built. This introduction to and exploration of this ‘categorial landscape’ will be led by an expert in the field. It will be structured over the course of two-days and will include a plenary talk on the evening of the first day. The workshop will provide a summary of Sacks’ early work by working through some classic examples in order to familiarise participants with the aspects of ‘membership categorisation devices’ that form the cornerstone of MCA. We will also move on to consider further examples which demonstrate the contribution of MCA in addressing the centrality of categorisation practices in a range of activities and settings. Following introductory remarks and orientations, the workshop will be practical in nature and the majority of the second day of the workshop will take the form of data sessions where participants will be encouraged to contribute their own materials. Participants attending the course will leave well prepared to begin or continue their own studies in membership categorisation analysis. • Further information can be found here: https://www.ncrm.ac.uk/training/show.php?article=13139.crm.ac.uk/training/show.php?article=13139.)
