I'm very much looking forward to joining the InterAct Research Group (@interactemca.bsky.social) on the 28th of March to talk about 'how ‘vulnerability’ manifests as an interactional asymmetry in police interviews.' I'll be giving an overview of the work so far, then we'll get into some data.

On 28 March join us for our next ONLINE data session where @emma-richardson.bsky.social will share her coauthored work on 'vulnerability' in police interviews. #EMCA register to receive the link: forms.office.com/r/968kzaMtmA
