In conversation, a true conference… I report from today’s #CADay2025, hosted by @darg-sessions.bsky.social www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

The challenges of 'getting' children to eat veg are complex. Analysis with @bogdanahuma.bsky.social unpicks the threads of resistance during an everyday family mealtime. Would you eat the green beans? bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/3JZHVX...

These dark November months are not kind to energy levels and mounting deadlines, but even the smallest gestures provide help. Clinging to words of encouragement from my academic heroes like a lifebuoy. Tea and saffron buns and sci fi/fantasy also help, of course. #forFrodo

Thoroughly recommend, whether online or in person. Thanks to the organisers for making this such a welcoming and inclusive event 😊

Using sci-fi to help switch off after intense writing ✍️ 👩‍💻 days and Interstellar hit really hard. I swear I was only locked away for a few hours, but even the dog seems to have aged considerably.

And now decompressing after an excellent workshop (and a cheeky visit to Stockholm, of course). Love it that @profsalwiggins.bsky.social managed to sneak in! DP royalty! @alexahepburn.bsky.social

Fab blog post on unpacking the notion of 'collaboration' between humans and robots, including video footage.

Two PhD positions at @liu.se in the department of language and culture. Would suit #EMCA and similar. Spread the word! liu.se/en/work-at-l...

Swedish speaking lectureship in social psychology at Helsinki University available. Position for 4 years and deadline is soon (22nd Sept): jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

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 💬🫷🧑

Second call for papers for Digital P(a)lates: The Language of Online Food Practices at FU Berlin. Abstracts due October 1 #LanguageAndFood #CulinaryLinguistics

Dr Sue Widdicombe and I are inviting submissions for a Special Issue on "Making Others Misconduct Matter In The Public Sphere". onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal... For questions, feel free to get in touch with us. Looking forward to your contributions! ✨

First online meeting of EatSiN (Eating in Social Interaction network) this morning and exciting to see common research interests already emerging. Thanks to, amongst others, @ericlaurier.bsky.social @bogdanahuma.bsky.social @sofiaruediger.bsky.social @shihuiyu.bsky.social Spread the word...

Open summer pop-up event on taste and food: Smaklabbet ("The taste lab") is in Väderstad, Sweden, for a couple more weeks. We'll be there from 11th August to film tasting 'in the wild'. Looking forward to sensory explorations and learning more from others in the food sector. liu.se/Event/smakla...

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?

(via John Heritage) For those of you who cannot attend this event, a livestream will begin May 18th at 2:15 Pacific on: youtube.com/live/ldel0Ea... Please pass this on! @iscaupdates.bsky.social #emca

Just back from a long 🇬🇧 research visit and, for the first time ever, *had* to buy a second piece of luggage 🧳 to transport all the books 📚 I bought. Also a few boxes of tea bags and some Tunnocks chocolate 🍫. Definitely one of my better decisions.

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/...

If, like me,you sometimes find small talk a bit tricky, here's a blog post on why it isn't small after all. The latest mouthfull.blog post features Fleabag and some 1970s preschoolers. On the bigness of small talk:
