It's the *11th* year of running CARM training for other conversation analysts - this time from UK, Belgium, Australia, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Ghana - and focused on how to develop and run research-based #communication training and track its #impact #EMCA #AcademicSky
FINALLY got to do the CARM training with @lizstokoe.bsky.social 🎙️ Now I'm filled with ideas for future projects around how to create impact by implementing, "using", and training people in communication based on real-life Conversation Analysis findings. Thank you, Liz!

My own chapter describes MCA as an ethnomethodological orientation. It was ever thus. MCA as an attention to the practices of culture-in-action. There’s so much more to be said.
Read this chapter as a part 1… Part 2 coming soon.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place):

1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

I added a new sheep to my little pet sheep flock. She is very hard to see at night, but having a black sheep in our midst feels a little revolutionary and apt at the moment. Her name is.BaaBraa.
