The Summer School is designed as a practice-oriented workshop series that provides an introduction to working with interactional data and to Conversation Analysis. Over the course of three days, internationally renowned scholars will introduce key theoretical concepts and practical analytical approaches for the systematic study of social action in interaction.
Following the workshops, a symposium and data sessions among the PhD researchers will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of ongoing research projects. During these sessions, selected examples from current research projects will be jointly analysed, interpreted, and discussed with fellow researchers, fostering new perspectives and insights.
Participation is free of charge.
