Here is some exciting #EMCA work from fellow Wits scholars
So excited to see an #EMCA paper in the #AJS by @kevinawhitehead.bsky.social @raymond-sociology.bsky.social and Brett Bowman!!! One of my most pleasant surprises working as an Associate Editor for the AJS during 2023-24 was that we got quite some super interesting work using conversation analysis!!!
The May 2025 issue of the American Journal of Sociology is now available online at www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/ajs/curr...

I'm very much looking forward to joining the InterAct Research Group (@interactemca.bsky.social) on the 28th of March to talk about 'how ‘vulnerability’ manifests as an interactional asymmetry in police interviews.' I'll be giving an overview of the work so far, then we'll get into some data.
