I’ve just dropped back here on BlueSky 🦋 and hello! It’s been busy!

I post about communication and conversation analysis, and my research on interactions with children, youth justice, and medical encounters.

I also share events at Loughborough University, and my love of fungi and painting. 🍄

It's nearly time for CA day!

Here's the registration link and terrific programme:

Conversation analysts can you help me out with a response to reviewers? Plz share any evidence that training developed from CA can (a)change healthcare professional behaviours (b)change health outcomes PLUS (c) any references of ‘good practice’ identified through CA being absent from guidance. 🙏

Terrific day visiting my alma mater to present our new research project.

On top of that, it has been an absolute pleasure to listen to so many innovative and exciting talks.

#EMCA research in police and legal settings continues to flourish.

It’s the morning after Forensic Conversations and we’ve gathered for a data session. We’re on a deep dive into a 911 call from MA Criminology student Scarlett Vaughan’s recently submitted thesis 👏

Tip for PhD applicants reaching out to prospective advisors: Don’t use an LLM to write these emails. It’s not a great first impression to express your admiration for a recent paper the faculty member published if that paper does not exist.
