Announcement text: A full description of your announcement	Call for Contributions Frontiers in Membership Categorisation Analysis. Editors: William Housley and Richard Fitzgerald Background and Context: Since the publication of Culture-in-Action. Studies in Membership Categorisation Analysis (Hester and Eglin, 1997) Membership Categorisation Analysis (MCA) has become a prominent methodological and analytic approach across the social sciences, regularly included in research methods texts and encyclopaedia, and employed across a range of topics of study. The take up of MCA across disciplines, as a form of qualitative research, is a testament to the original work of Sacks and the development of his work particularly by Rod Watson, Lena Jayussi, Jeff Coulter, Carolyn Baker, Dave Francis, and of course Stephen Hester and Peter Eglin. Hester and Eglin argued that the analysis of categorisation practices was not only or primarily based on observing that people use category references in talk, but more importantly in treating members category work as occurring within the inextricably entwined mutually elaborate relationship of (multi-layered) categorial and sequential methods in multiple orders of ordinary action. Hester and Eglin's reconsideration of Sacks' signal commentaries on categorisation work was ground-breaking for its reinvigoration of a categorial focused analysis of naturally occurring interaction grounded within and through the examination of empirical materials. This was not only focused on talk and interaction but was also open to the full range of members category work wherever it could be captured for analysis. The emergence of novel interactional domains, inclusive of those situationally configured and locally accomplished in and through video mediated platforms, immersive and augmented environments, social media, and voice enabled assistants, has brought these considerations into the foreground in recent years. At the same time a transformation in approaches to the analysis of audio, video and other materials remains relevant and work in progress. Call for Papers: A major publisher has expressed interest in this volume and has invited us to submit a full proposal and so at this stage we invite contributions from both established scholars and early career researchers for this collection. Initial applications of interest should include name and affiliation, contact details, proposed title, and indicative references together with an initial 750-word outline which situates the proposed analysis at the forefront of MC research highlighting the innovation in phenomenon under examination and/or innovation in the analysis and its contribution to the MCA approach. It is envisaged that Chapters will be approximately 8000 words in length and will be subject to peer review. Informal inquires welcome and outlines should be forwarded for consideration by 1 of May 2022 to the following e-mail address: Fitzgerald[at]um.edu.mo
