Advice to grad students: “I would say make sure to go to many conferences and participate in data sessions and academic discussions so that you learn by doing and not just reading.”-Brian Due, U of Copenhagen #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social @linguistlist.bsky.social

“I always get so excited at LANSI hearing about how people are using language and social interaction research in so many different contexts. It's ‘omni-relevant’!” Kelly Frantz @BrynMawrCollege #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 #emca #lansibunch @iscaupdates.bsky.social @ica-lsi.bsky.social #altesolalum

“I also started acting as an expert witness in ‘hate speech’ cases against neo-fascist groups. I had to analyze their messages to show hatred and contempt towards various marginalized groups.” #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @lingsocam.bsky.social @linguistlist.bsky.social @ica-lsi.bsky.social

When we ask for something big—time, effort, money—do we hedge against rejection or assume success? With @gio-rossi.bsky.social & Tanya Stivers, we find that people are incurably optimistic, even though big requests often meet resistance. Published open access in @socquarterly.bsky.social. #EMCA

My favorite part about being a discourse analyst is exactly this. It's nice to have labels for things we notice but can't quite pinpoint...and then feel validated that it's not just me overthinking but an actual 'thing' that has been documented as happening routinely.

“…not because I was interested in repair specifically, but because it turned out to be a great window into a lot of interesting interactional work that would be difficult to study otherwise." -Galina Bolden Rutgers University #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social

Me ready to destroy a presenter with a tough question (jk!). In all seriousness, I had the best time at @lansi2024.bsky.social sharing about @francescaorfw.bsky.social my upcoming book, "Race talk in institutional settings: A language and social interaction perspective" and learning from others!

“…So one place to look is these very initial meetings when students come into college, and these are really short interactions but have important consequences.” -Elena Crosley, University of Michigan #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025

« …the “Swedish” way --very different from traditional overseas Chinese language schools. … they engage children at a very young age. » -Zejia (Luna) Xu, Uppsala University, Sweden #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social photo by @rovinglinguist.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1461...

"Go to conferences and listen to as many presenters as you can. Once you find that thing that interests you, research feels less like work, and we find the joy in it." - Kristella Montiegel U of Colorado Boulder #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social

« Growing up, I always picked apart what people said. I was so excited when I found discourse analytic tools that give evidential backing to how talk works and what it means. »-Natasha Shrikant, U of Colorado Boulder #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 photo by @rovinglinguist.bsky.social

« I’m really interested in using CA to show these students are autonomous and are actually really proficient communicators – and how our interactional moves can support and hinder those communications. » -Caroline Braun, Boston College #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social

“I am interested in how people display, negotiate, and share their emotions in interaction not just by talking, but also by using embodied action and materials from their environment." Jing Xue, Georgetown University #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025

« I took a class with Nadja [Tadic] about discourse and interaction and I loved learning about membership categorization analysis. » -Abby Killam, Georgetown University #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025

« … and LANSI was perfect for that because it's such a great chance to workshop the data and see what people think » -Mark Visonà, Hofstra University #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
