Symposium in Honour of Adam Kendon
September 7-8, 2023
Adam Kendon was a pre-eminent scholar and his work, spanning nearly 60 years, influenced and shaped the work of many students and scholars all over the world. 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. The event is online only to allow for maximum attendance, and is free for everyone to attend.
