University of Liverpool: Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis training March 2023:
Details:
- Title: Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis
- Date: 06/03/2023 - 07/03/2023
- Organised by: University of Liverpool
- Presenter: Dr Michael Mair
- Level: Intermediate (some prior knowledge)
- Contact: michael.mair@liverpool.ac.uk

- Description: Ethnomethodology and conversation analysis are radical approaches to social inquiry. While distinct, ethnomethodology – the study of practical methods of action and reasoning, or ‘ethno-methods’ – and conversation analysis – the study of ‘talk-in-interaction’ – are grounded in detailed investigations of how people in all manner of ordinary and specialised sites and settings organise their activities together, what Harvey Sacks pithily labelled “the methods persons use in doing social life” (Sacks 1984: 21). Although this module will chart the development of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis and situate them intellectually in wider fields of inquiry, its purpose is to provide an advanced, hands-on introduction to the unique way both approach the study of social practices via ‘tutorial problems’ centred on the analysis of data collected as part of small-scale study exercises. Among other things, the module will explore how ethnographic research, observation, interviewing and ‘found data’ more generally can be ‘repurposed’, that is, put to work in alternate ways when pursued ethnomethodologically. This module is available to students within the University of Liverpool studying for any postgraduate programme across the faculties and to students and researchers outside the university either as part of doctoral training partnerships and networks or stand-alone postgraduate-level research training. It will be of particular interest to students and researchers working across the social sciences and beyond with a specific interest in studying language, practice and social (inter)action and in learning more about ethnomethodology as an ‘alternate’ or ‘radical’ approach to social inquiry (Garfinkel 2002).
- Cost: This module is free to members of the UK’s EMCA Doctoral Training Network and allied EMCA communities. Those interested in attending should email michael.mair@liverpool.ac.uk, explaining know who you are, what you're studying, why you want to attend and how (i.e., in person or online).
