CA for Beginners
January 16, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm GMT
Our next one-day CA for Beginners workshop will be held remotely on Jan 16th 2025.
The day will start at 10.00 am and end at 5.00 pm, UK time.
Led by Loughborough faculty Charles Antaki, Emma Richardson, Magnus Hamman, Tilly Flint and Saul Albert, the workshop is meant for anyone who has a growing interest in CA – perhaps they have heard of it, come across it in their studies, or are working in a group which uses it as an approach for research. It would also be useful for anyone starting out on research which may take them down the line of analysing talk in great detail.
The kinds of questions we will cover include:
• What is the relationship between CA and discourse analysis?
• Why does CA insist on the close analysis of talk, with very detailed transcription?
• What does CA us about what people are doing in everyday life?
• Can we use CA to understand institutional encounters, for example medical consultations or police interviews?
• How can I use CA in my research?
The day will include hands-on group work on: – How to transcribe, how to identify the components of turns – How to identify actions – How to build a collection – How to develop an argument in conversation analysis
