This 3-day online workshop is for advanced postgraduate researchers, postdoctoral researchers, and early career faculty who have a strong working knowledge of conversation analysis (CA) and wish to consolidate their analytic skills.

What does this workshop promise? 

The workshop will provide an overview of advanced topics, problems and prospects in CA research. The workshop aims to enhance participants’ skills in CA methods of analysis and ability to produce original contributions to the field.

How is the workshop structured?  

This workshop will be online on Microsoft Teams. All times are in BST (London time):

• Tuesday 24^th September from 10am to 4.30pm
• Wednesday 25^th September from 9am to 6pm
• Thursday 26^th September 9am to 3.30pm

Presentations by the facilitators will cover advanced topics in CA and its applications to various areas of investigation. Most of the workshop will be dedicated to practical sessions and hands-on analytic work. The participants will work in small groups on video data and transcripts provided by the facilitators. They will identify an original phenomenon and will share their findings in a short, informal group presentation on the third day of the workshop. The analytic work will be supported by the facilitators.
