Conversation Analysis: An Introduction and Overview 12 June 2017

In the last thirty years, Conversation Analysis has become the preeminent method for the analysis of naturally occurring interaction. Despite its name, CA studies all forms of talk-in-interaction in institutional or work related settings as well as in ordinary conversation. It also studies embodied behaviours such as gaze, gesture, and movement. 

In this course, we introduce the history and principles of CA, sketch some of its main analytic procedures, and show how it offers a indepth view of how we use talk in social interaction, and how these analytic practices inform a radical methodology in sociology.

This course is recommended for people with no prior knowledge of CA who just want to get a basic understanding of its distinctive approach, and those who intend to go on to take the more technical CA skills training programmes offered in the Department.

Course Leaders: The course team will be Robin Wooffitt and Darren Reed
Location: University of York, Research Centre for Social Sciences (RCSS)
Fee: £75 (which includes tea/coffee and materials

International Symposium: MOOD-Y (Micro-Analysis Of Online Data in York)

This symposium took place on  Monday and Tuesday 14/15 July in the Department of Sociology.

Through themed presentations of empirical research and methodological processes on the first day, as well as researcher-led collaborative data workshops on the second day, the MOOD-Y symposium provided a space for developing the theory and methodology of interaction(al) analysis of online social behaviour.
