The Association For Qualitative Research have a new introductory article up on CA by Celia Kitzinger and Merran Toerien.
Derek Edwards from Loughborough University in the first of three videos talking about what discursive psychology is… and what it isn’t.
Transcript Analysis Group (TAG) began in 1991 at UQ as an initiative of the late Associate Professor Carolyn Baker. TAG will meet regularly an alternating basis at UQ (convened by Dr Richard Fitzgerald and Dr Jess Harris), QUT (convened by Associate Professor Susan Danby), and Griffith University (convened by Associate Professor Rod Gardner and Dr Jayne Keogh). Each University will host 2 meetings per semester. The group invites anyone with an interest in analysing transcripts of interaction (which could include classroom talk, interviews or other forms of discourse) to participate. We encourage the sharing of methods, practices and ideas from a range of analytic perspectives.
TAG will meet in two distinct formats in 2010. The first is the establishment of a self selected group for newcomers to analysing transcript data. Meetings will include research training in some selected methods (this could include: conversation analysis, membership categorisation analysis, discourse analysis, narrative analysis or others, depending on the wishes of the group), initially in regards to audio/video data, and guided discussion in the key literature in the fields. It is proposed that this group will meet once a month. We encourage everyone who attends this session to share ideas and plan forthcoming sessions.
The second group (AIEM/CA Scientific Panel) is aimed at self selected old timers (methodologically speaking) and postgraduate students who wish to engage in classic data sessions, based on audio, video and visual data generated from participants’ current research projects, using ethnomethodology, conversation analysis and membership categorisation analysis. Newcomers and members of TAG are encouraged to join the Scientific Panel. These sessions also will include discussion of new pure and applied work in the field.
Continuing our ICCA diaries series this video features Assistant Professor Geoff Raymond from University of California, Santa Barbara talking about mode free resources in interaction
Max Atkinson has kindly provided a compilation of those posts from his blog which have EM/CA underpinnings. For the full blog go to www.maxatkinson.blogspot.com

Victoria University of Wellington
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.
Keynote speaker:
Professor Elizabeth Stokoe, Loughborough University
“Moving forward with conversation and membership categorization analysis: New directions for systematic and applied research”
Registration:
Registration fees are likely be minimal (less than $100) to cover the costs of refreshments only
To facilitate planning we invite those who wish to attend to pre-register. To do this please send an email to Ann.Weatherall@vuw.ac.nz
Include the following information:
- Name
- Institution
Paper Submission:
We invite researchers doing CA/MCA work to submit an abstract for a paper presentation or a proposal for a data workshop.
Abstracts of 200 words should be sent as an attachment to Ann.Weatherall@vuw.ac.nz before August 31st, with “Abstract Submission” as the subject.
Authors will be notified of the outcome by end of September.
More information and a website will available on the website soon.
Please feel free to distribute this information.
Continuing our theme of applied conversation analysis here is a video taken at ICCA this year with Assistant Professor Joyce Lamerichs, VU Amsterdam, talking about how she applied conversation analysis to help children with behaviour problems.
Keeping in theme with my discovery of Max Atkinson’s Claptrap on applying conversation analysis, here is the first in my Loughborough series of videos with Charles Antaki talking about applied Conversation Analysis.
Claptrap a documentary featuring Max Atkinson’s demonstration of the utility of CA , applying the results of the analysis of speeches to training a speaker to deliver the most effective speaking devices is now online in Archival content.
This video also features John Heritage speaking on which devices might prove more effective.
For more on this and how Max has gone on with this work check out Max’s Blog http://maxatkinson.blogspot.com/ or add him on twitter.
Over the coming months new pages will be added with archival content of EM/CA material not hosted elsewhere.
The first of these is the Proceedings of the Purdue Symposium on Ethnomethodology, a transcript of the controversy surrounding the then-nascent discipline of ethnomethodology.
Look out for future archival content as it becomes available.
