The Australian Institute for Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis
Plenary 8 – Professor Derek Edward’s from Peter Riley-Jordan on Vimeo.
The plenaries recorded by at the CAMARG 2012 event at Loughborough are all accessible here http://www-staff.lboro.ac.uk/~ssca1/DCconf2012/DC2012home.html
I’ll also space out posts of the videos selecting EMCA/DP authors to post across the coming weeks.

Not strictly ethnomethodology/CA, but this video by worksafe australia should certainly be of interest to all us interaction minded persons.
In a whirlwind of activity for AIEMCA I’ve re-added the CA in sydney web-page http://aiemca.net/?p=400 and uploaded a new thesis by Nikos Bozatsis. ”Greek National Identity in Talk: The rhetorical articulation of an ideological dilemma.”
Finally a reminder about the TAG session in Brisbane in May.
Please let Dr Jess Harris (j.harris2@uq.edu.au) know if you are interested in attending the full-day TAG seminar on Friday 18 May. Presentations will be given by Assoc. Professor Ann Weatherall (Victoria University of Wellington) and Dr Amanda Bateman (The University of Waikato). During the afternoon, we will hold a range of data sessions.
When sending your expression of interest, please also include any dietary requirements.
Conversation Analysis in Sydney (CAIS) is a group of Sydney-based researchers who meet monthly for data sessions and discussion of methods. We come from a range disciplines and backgrounds but share a common interest in CA. Researchers of all levels, from students to academics, are welcome to come along and join us.
For more information, please refer to our website at https://sites.google.com/site/cainsydney/. To join our mailing list, contact us at cainsydney@gmail.com.
A new thesis entitled “In the Gulf Between Prejudice and Culture: Talking the Experience of Western Expatriates in the Middle East” by Kevin McKenzie has been added to the thesis repository at http://aiemca.net/?page_id=258.
Also there has been an unfortunate technical glitch which has deleted roughly a years worth of posts. All of AIEMCA’s featured videos are still available on our youtube channel at www.youtube.com/aiemca. However some theses have vanished into the ether, these will be progressively replaced in the coming days.
Finally do please send me any updates about EM, CA or DP events, Calls for papers, Jobs or whatnot as this blog has a good reach via our Facebook following. If you haven’t added us on Facebook do so immediately – www.facebook.com/AIEMCA. Email me at aiemca@aiemca.net or via my University email (available, and safe from spam at http://uq.academia.edu/EdwardReynolds/About)

AIEMCA Doer of things.
Preparations are underway for a one-day seminar on May 18 and we are seeking expressions of interest for data sessions and RSVPs from those interested in attending.
Assoc. Prof. Ann Weatherall (Victoria University of Wellington) and Dr Amanda Bateman (University of Waikato) will be presenting some of their work in the morning session.
The current plan is to run a few parallel data sessions during the afternoon and we invite any of you who would like to provide some data to get in contact with us. Ultimately, it would be great to have at least three data sessions running throughout the afternoon with different areas of focus.
A nominal fee of around $20 /person will be charged for the day to cover the cost of catering.
When sending through your RSVP or expression of interest for a data session, please also let us know if you have any particular dietary requirements.

Mike will be giving a Farewell Lecture entitled ‘Sociology, discovery and progress: lessons from the study of naturally occurring talk-in-interaction’.
Sociology has a long tradition of critical self-examination in which its perceived defects and deficiencies are laid bare. In this lecture I revisit two recent assessments of the state of sociology, those by Stephen Cole and Randall Collins. By using their diagnoses of the problems within sociology as a foil it is possible to conceive of an alternative vision for the discipline.
Our fate, alternatively, is to remain in the empirically productive, but ultimately incoherent and disconnected, research frontier.
For further information, please see www.uq.edu.au/sbs/farewell-lecture
Please join us in celebrating Mike and his work (so far)
The 7th Australasian Symposium on Conversation Analysis and Membership Categorisation Analysis is being organised by Wellington’s Conversation Analysis Group and supported by Victoria University of Wellington. The two day symposium is designed to build upon and enhance the emerging profile and scope of CA/MCA work being done within Australasia and to make and develop connections with those working in this field. The symposium aims to support the emerging strength of Australasian CA/MCA work nationally and internationally as well as further develop the unique collaborative interests that have potential for the strengthening the approach into the future.
Professor Elizabeth Stokoe, Loughborough University
“Moving forward with conversation and membership categorization analysis: New directions for systematic and applied research”
