Courses
Conversation Analysis (CA) is increasingly widely used as a research methodology in Sociology, Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Social Psychology, the Health Sciences and other related disciplines. We are offering a short course designed to give an introduction to the basic principles and methods of CA. It is intended for those who have had little previous experience with conversation analysis but who are interested in what it might offer them in their own research, and are considering whether to use this method in their doctoral or post-doctoral research. It may also serve as a refresher course for those with some previous experience of CA, and who now want to teach or research in this area. Ideally participants will already have, or be in the process of recording, their own data (e.g. doctor/patient or other medical interaction, family conversations, helplines, meetings of various kinds, interactions in educational settings and so on). But this is not essential – participants may also be at an earlier stage in planning their research. The course would suit graduate/post-doc researchers in any relevant discipline.
