The (Re)Production, Negotiation, and Navigation of Social Asymmetries‐in‐Action: An Introduction to the Special Issue This article reconsiders, and argues for, the contribution of ethnomethodological and conversation analytic research (EM/CA) to the understanding of social asymmetries in action. As well as highlight....

The introduction to our special issue on the (re)production of asymmetries-in-action. It’s been a pleasure working with @cathtam.bsky.social and our contributors in demonstrating EM/CA approaches to various “isms” and some of sociology’s “Big” concerns.

The paper by @robinjsmith.bsky.social and the analysis of police encounters has been my go to if someone asked me why granular analysis of interaction matters. Great to hear it's out entirely, can't wait to read the other papers.

In June 2024, a special issue CFP on the Chicago School sparked a collaboration with @robinjsmith.bsky.social, Terry, Erik & Patrik. Inspired by Sacks' (1992:27) appreciative critique, we explored how CS ethnography may relate to the development of #EMCA. Our paper is now out #OpenAccess: t.ly/Has34

Our new #EMCA paper, co-authored with Yeji Rieser, is out in #QualitativeResearch!

We revisit a rich but often overlooked strand of conversation analysis, exploring how transcription practices deal with the wildness of talk's poeticity.

Harry Collins and Rob Evans have a good take on this, I think. We need to understand Science as a culture that is crucial to our democracies: www.wiley.com/en-us/Why+De...

Strongly recommend both! This lecture/poetry reading performance was amazing and I love that it happened as a Sociology keynote.

Ich sehe wie der intuitiv Sinn ergibt. Grade MG & MLK sind strategisch in ner anderen hist. Situation. Als Vertreter von Gruppen, die durch rass. Unterdrückung & Dehumanisierung stark auf 'Ton' achten für ihre Legitimation im weiß-dominierten Diskurs, liegen da andere strategische Kalküle zugrunde.

Ich glaube nicht, dass man die strategischen Bedingungen (post)kolonial unterdrückter Gruppen im Widerstand gegen Unterdrückung 1 zu 1 auf den Widerstand der Mehrheitsgesellschaft gegen Rechte übertragen kann. Zumindest nicht in so ner Analogie ohne Einbettung in eine historische Analyse.

Busy doing nothing? The “dead time” of waiting may actually comprise our most fertile, productive moments, says Terry S.H. Au-Yeung in his review of In the Meantime (Berghahn Books), edited by Adeline Masquelier and Deborah Durham.
