Book title | Applied Conversation Analysis: Intervention and Change in Institutional Talk |
Chapter | 5 |
Abstract
How can Conversation Analysis be used to help an organisation handle sensitive questions over the phone? In this chapter, I describe my experiences with a telephone-based helpline service whose call-takers were experiencing real difficulties in asking callers to declare their ethnicity, as part of a call-monitoring process.
