Made this joke last year, read Jacinda Ardern’s book this year and thought “hmmmm maybe?” Actually, though - if you want to support the way I’m trying to make change in the world, give me a follow on socials!

As promised, I wrote a blog about the healthcare interactions research presented at #icca2026. I didn't want to compromise anyone's ongoing work, so it is a broad overview: www.bedsidemanners.com.au/blog/healthc...

I'm trying to build my audience for content around how conversation works in the wild. This is to help people learn and to promote my company, Bedside Manners. Pls follow me on insta so I can do things like "trial reels” that get to people beyond my followers! www.instagram.com/the_conversa...

Love seeing announcements for early to mid career research grants and all the awardees are professors 🧐

Looks like redbubble is having 40% if you want some CA merch, like this:

Back home from my first #ICCA2026 in Edmonton! ✈️🇨🇦 Had a fantastic week attending workshops, presentations, and panels, meeting researchers in the field, and making new friends. A huge thank you to my supervisors Joel Rhee, Jitendra Jonnagaddala, and @drsarahjwhite.bsky.social for all their support!

What an amazing week at ICCA 2026!🇨🇦 Kicking things off with the pre-conference workshops was fantastic. Followed by four days of fantastic panels and presentations - and so many on education and early childhood! And of course, catching up with friends and colleagues! #ICCA2026

I packed my best clothes for feeling and looking nice, but turns out that those clothes also had the best pockets for smuggling huge amounts of cookies out of the conference #icca2026

I was searching through very old emails to remind me of some of the details of my time at UCLA and possibly the greatest find was me emailing Manny to ask for a recommendation for a jazz club closer to Santa Monica than the one he'd suggested to Aug Nishizaka, who was at UCLA at the same time…

Evergreen post.

Turn to see a little of Lorenza's artwork honouring Manny Schegloff. I added a jazz tune from the band I think was the one playing at the Jazz Bakery that Manny recommended 1 go to (as a fellow jazz lover). #icca2026

My last #icca2026 interview was with Elliott Hoey!

I caught up with Verónica González Temer close to the end of #ICCA2026!

So good to be part of this incredible panel on #emca and #socialwork at #icca2026, including slipping in some of my fave teaching graphics into this presentation on doing listening 😁

And it’s a wrap! Thanks Xiaoting Li and everyone, all volunteers and organisers for this amazing #icca2026

The thunder appropriately captures my sadness that #icca2026 is over 😭

I’m sad that I don’t have any photos with Manny (I was sure I did). But I remember spending so much time preparing for his classes as I was doing the work of both the Fall and Winter quarters at the same time. That three months connected me to the history of CA and I’ll be forever grateful.

Finishing this #icca2026 with a thought-provoking panel on the borders of #emca Thanks organisers: @samiraibnelkaid.bsky.social @avgustis.bsky.social @briandue.bsky.social #decoloniseresearch #decenternormativity

I spent 3 months at UCLA in winter 2009. I took Manny’s class and attended his data sessions. While it was only a short time, it was one of the most important intellectual periods of my academic life. I always wish I had been a little less awestruck but it was hard not to be. #icca2026

Giving my talk -- "Divergence in alignment to the larger activity of a sequence: Impeded/Expedited progressivity & epistemics" -- in the epistemics session today at 1.30pm. I hope some folks are still around on the last day of this excellent conference! #icca2026

Last day at #icca2026 I already know tears are going to be shed during goodbyes! It’s been wonderful to catch up with Friends and make new ones! And so so much brilliant and important research in my beloved #emca field!

At the #ICCA2026 panel "At the borders of EMCA- Decentering Normativity to Engage with Interactional Pluralities", panel co-organiser @samiraibnelkaid.bsky.social takes some time to acknowledge the talks that we're missing out on (because they were rejected or unable to travel)

Day Four of #icca2026! I haven’t been able to record videos as much but hoping to capture more today. Today I’m starting in health session and then moving to the Schegloff section after the break. As promised, a blog in the future will cover the health talks I attended.

#ICCA2026 What do we know about 'topicality' in #EMCA? What has been done so far? Tomorrow I am presenting the findings of our scoping review (Luis Manuel Olguin, @gchavezlazo.bsky.social & me) 💬 Theme Session: Topicality and topic management across languages. 📍 CCIS L1-140 🕗 9:00 - 9:30 AM

The next ICCA will be in 2030 in SWEDEN! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 #icca2026 #icca2030

Applauding too much at the awards and forgetting take photos! Luckily they’ve all been announced #icca2026 @iscaupdates.bsky.social @icca2026.bsky.social

Last last of the day (dulcis in fundo): Mie Femo Nielsen & Ann Merrit Rikke Nielsen present on TRUST: what are some analysts’ dilemma when it comes to conceptualise trust & trustworthiness in social interactions? #emca #socialwork #icca2026 …finally a wrap-up discussion for this Amazing Panel!

Oh god. Dealing with annoying conversational agents with @drsarahjwhite.bsky.social failures of interaction and disliking unprompted calls. #icca2026

Third and last keynote at #icca2026 from Prof. Makoto Hayashi on contrastives in Japanese. My PhD thesis on #collaborativeturns is half made of quotations from his work! #emca

Talking about Sudnow's Ways of the Hand yesterday, I was reminded of a serendipitous wormhole into #EMCA history I found in a 1988 recording of Sudnow's piano course ideophone.org/a-serendipit... Did you know Sudnow was a key force alongside Jefferson in getting Sacks' lectures published? #ICCA2026

We kick off our panel on CA and Social Work at #icca2026 amazingly with Sieun Chon presenting on “Asking about Violence: consecutive questionings as a strategy to facilitate disclosures”… and great discussion!

@FionaStevenson discusses the ethical and practical aspects of creating Trusted Research Environments for creating and sharing health data for interaction. Can we do this internationally? #icca2026

Next we have Madeleine Wirzén & Karin Osvaldsson Cromdal presenting on Talking diversity (one of the themes #icca2026), deviance & parental norms in child protection interviews. What constitute “good parent” behaviour normatively? Questions is answered by looking at how children talk about parents!
