Thanks for persisting with the research @yvonnetsecrepaldi.bsky.social and I recognise the long fermentation period. Some papers just need a bit more time to get themselves where they need to be. Thinking that @bogdanahuma.bsky.social might also be interested in reading this too 💬🫷🧑

Registration is now open for the York Conference on Conversation Analysis (YorCCA). The conference is on Fri 18 July (in-person or online) with Paul Drew and Lorenza Mondada as invited speakers. Workshops by Paul and Lorenza for PhD students (in-person) on Sat 19 July.

IIEMCA27 is being organised by InterAct, a group of scholars at Wits working to advance ethnomethodological conversation analysis (EMCA) in South Africa. #EMCA #MCA

If you conduct video-based, interactional analysis (think CA, DP, EMCA, linguistic anthropology) on eating in social interaction, then EatSiN might be for you. Contact me for more details!

Calling all @dote.bsky.social users...can anyone be of assistance?

Had the privilege of hosting a workshop last week with some stellar researchers in the field of interactional approaches to eating. We're establishing a new research network...if it involves eating within social interaction, we're in! Watch this space...

we've started up a new thing @uoncompsci.bsky.social the Social Interaction and Technology (SIT) group advances the adoption and deployment of interaction-oriented studies of tech-in-use, particularly #EMCA approaches for more info, we have a website here: people.cs.nott.ac.uk/pszsr/sit/

Thanks to @psychmag.bsky.social for making the recording of this available online. Good inspiration to get research out to a wider audience, even if the truth still hurts (that most people aren't going to read our academic papers) 🥺

In 2027, IIEMCA is coming to South Africa. South Africa is… unique for having 3 capital cities: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFkZ...

This looks like a really interesting conference. Still taking submissions. "Atypical" will cover quite range of different kinds of interactions (dementia, aphasia, autism etc), so should be of wide interest to CA researchers. liu.se/en/research/...

Did I mention that I can do remote work for clients in any country?

A few thoughts on academic civility, the paradigm ceasefire, and the challenge posed to critical social psychology by the misdiagnosis of the replicability crisis. Based on the idea that the Harré quote below would be seen as terribly poor form if uttered by a prominent social psychologist today.

"Pie and mash is not dying; it has tactically retreated." Lovely article on food memories, taste, and why sometimes it's better to let go.

🚨Save the date 🚨 One-day symposium: ⭐️ Qualitative Open Science: Challenges, Opportunities, Tensions, & Synergies ⭐️ 📆 28th of March 2025 📌 At Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Registration will open ⏳shortly ⏳ Below’s a 👀 sneak-peak 👀 at the programme & stellar line-up of speakers

Did you know there’s an entire field of scientific research dedicated to exploring how humans get things done through social interaction? Interaction is at the centre of human sociality and conversation analysts systematically examine how this works in the wild. #emca

Very excited about the #CAkeOff2024 this year at #CADay2024. Especially as we will be 'eating together' on December 16th with @profsalwiggins.bsky.social! Looking forward to tasting the entries. Plus, there's a prize for the most 'CA inspired' CAke 👇
