The International Society for Conversation Analysis (ISCA) is an independent faculty-and-student-based professional association in higher education, designed to serve the needs of scholars of language and social interaction across a variety of disciplines and applications. Founded in 2010, the Society seeks to provide its members with resources to advance the field by circulating findings, creating better courses, strengthening research, and creating a collective voice for the development and application of professional findings.
A major aim of ISCA is to encourage and enhance interdisciplinary research into the structure and dynamics of social interaction through the creation of a multi-disciplinary community of scholars. From its beginning, the organization has been committed to the notion that broad advances in the understanding of social interaction require disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to research and learning.

What would an AI podcast on a CA classic paper sound like? Here’s a clip from one, which I entirely produced by uploading Jeffersons 1987 chapter on embedded correction through Google‘s new notebook LM. (The sound is much better than on this amateurish clip.)
Get in touch ASAP so that we can help you to apply for funding by December. Reach out if you’re interested: @SylvaineTuncer, @hindmarshjon, @dirkvl or Paul Luff. For details about the WIT group, see . We look forward to hearing from you. 2/2
🚨Call for Papers! Abstracts for the 2024 CA Day on 16th December are welcome. Registration is OPEN.
