Can #AI understand 'human distress'? And where might a conversation analytic answer to this question start? #LSE is publishing a new series of video shorts on the impact of AI technology and it's great to have #EMCA in it! youtu.be/rwBgZxmeCDM?... 🧵 1/3 @lsepbs.bsky.social

Four years ago today, a crowd of (mostly) Trump supporters attacked the Capitol building. Here's what we found about how empowerment processes drove the event: jspp.psychopen.eu/index.php/js...

As Tajfel (1978a) argued, ‘the dichotomy in the explanations of mass intergroup phenomena is not ... between the rational and the irrational, but between the irrational and the social–cognitive’ (p. 420). It's worth repeating.

I've been reading the lovely work of Liz Holt on laughter this week. I love the way she takes you through particular sequences of talk, explains where the laughter is, and often how it sounds -- and for speech people, a really important message is that laughter has many tasks in conversation.

@profsalwiggins.bsky.social delivers her wonderful plenary as the finale of DARG CA Day 2024. She introduces co-eating as a crucial integrative notion to push eating research forward. @darg-sessions.bsky.social @iscaupdates.bsky.social

The CA (Conversation Analysis) day 2024 CAke off begins. An epic edible version of Schegloff’s CA text. @emma-richardson.bsky.social @darg-sessions.bsky.social #LboroCAday2024 @lborouniversity.bsky.social

I'm sure it has been discussed before. But what is the official or best description of a Bluesky post? Should it be a BS? (nice in some ways) Or Should it be a Bluey? (nice in other ways) 🙂

In case you've missed it, a wonderful podcast about Manny's legacy, an insightful interview with John Heritage and recollections of several colleagues and students #EMCA @iscaupdates.bsky.social www.conversationanalysis.org/podcast/inte...

This is devastating to social psych and JDM, given the massive contribution of scholars at Dutch universities in those fields. #psychscisky

A few thoughts on academic civility, the paradigm ceasefire, and the challenge posed to critical social psychology by the misdiagnosis of the replicability crisis. Based on the idea that the Harré quote below would be seen as terribly poor form if uttered by a prominent social psychologist today.

Honored to join this illustrious set of coauthors and looking forward to reading their contributions.

Thank you! Obviously very fond of all three of those books in different ways.

Very much looking forward to being at this year's Loughborough CA day in person! darg.lboro.ac.uk/event/ca-day... @alexahepburn.bsky.social @darg-sessions.bsky.social @iscaupdates.bsky.social (and enjoying life on Bluesky rather than the other place...

A rather magical visit to the House of Commons in the Palace of Westminster. At a meeting there today I was surprised to learn that the UK's automotive, aerospace and life sciences industries are all smaller, even when all three are added together, than the UK's creative industries.

Let's talk about simulation for communication training: Simulation is often used for communication training & assessment for healthcare students & professionals There is, however, an assumption of authenticity when it comes to how people communicate. This assumption is challenged by research.

Might have something to do with sustained attacks on Higher Education in general, and the humanities in particular, by the previous government and its client journalists at the Telegraph, along with massive cuts to funding, caused by that government's policies. You can't have it both ways.

Really looking forward to presenting a paper on our latest ideas about ‘Headroom and Reset: Issues in the management of (family) conflict’ with @profjonathanpotter.bsky.social at the CA day! #EMCA
