Very interesting study.
#EMCA
Transformative practice emerges not from isolated techniques but from the fine-grained orchestration of gaze, touch, object use, and prosody within the sequential flow of everyday interaction.

Very much looking forward to my first visit to The Eden Project for #Anthropy26 and to join a panel on "The Trust Tax: a silent erosion of credibility and emotional connection between communicator and audience" and the sense of “off‑ness" in AI communication.

A lectern in the middle where a politician would speak, with the colors of the Peruvian flag. Two big titles that say "3rd season" and "2026-1" (the first academic term of the year). A little subtitle that says "Elections edition". A cyan background with dots, lines and a text bubble.
👁️🗨️ Secuenciando is officially opening its 3rd season: "Designing turns, constructing actions".
This season's theme is turn design, covering diverse aspects of that area.
We will have data sessions in Spanish with current data from Peru's general election and its presidential debates.

🌷It was an interesting challenge to write a methodological paper, I learnt a lot from the process, having mostly published empirical and data driven papers before. Working with Brett was really stimulating and I look forward to exploring more avenues for #EMCA methods in the SES field.
6/6
We reflected on the great research in SES using #EMCA but how is still somewhat limited.
So our paper aimed to broaden our understanding of what CA is, what it offers, and how it contributes to advancing SES. We introduced CA’s analytic commitments, distinguishing it from other qual approaches.

💬 How we work:
We work through 'seasons' of regular readings and meetings. Each one lasts an academic term.
Seasons are themed, covering a specific topic or area of #EMCA inquiry. In the first two, we introduced CA and explored sequence organization.
In April, a new, third season starts!
💬 Who we are:
Secuenciando is a study group that holds weekly data sessions 🔎 and discussions of #EMCA literature. 📚
Data and discussions are in Spanish, and schedules usually follow South American time zones.
Entirely student-led, and mainly composed of undergraduate & graduate students. 🙌
Many thanks to Andrew Carlin and Marek Czyżewski for inviting me to contribute to the special issue of Przegląd Socjologiczny dedicated to the work of Harvey Sacks.

Title and abstract for the article. Reads: Against Recruiting Participants for Psychology Research Recruiting participants is prevalent in psychology and many social sciences. Although qualitative approaches are often positioned as critical alternatives to quantitative methods, underlying assumptions about recruitment are shared across paradigms. These assumptions are that (a) researchers can determine groups of people with relevant identities, (b) recruitment can be accomplished by naming such identities, and (c) participants so recruited will be able to speak to/from these identities. We draw on discursive psychology, ethnomethodology, and conversation analysis to highlight the metatheoretical assumptions of recruiting participants. We show how the categorical logic underpinning recruitment involves problematic power relations. Two case studies illustrate how categories typically characterized as “demographic” (gender and ethnicity) are negotiated by participants in social interaction. We argue that studying naturally occurring data decenters researchers’ agendas and offers a powerful way to realize principles like honoring voice or lived experience. Keywords: recruitment, ethics, discursive psychology, social interaction, categories
While recruitment is often represented as simply the process by which researchers invite and sign volunteers into the research sample, it is, like all social activities,underpinnedby a taken-for-granted inferential infrastructure (Garfinkel, 1967). Rather than conceptualizing recruitment (solely) as a problemfor researchers, our discursive psychology approach allows us to theorize recruitment as a “two-person problem” (Sacks, 1995, p. xxxviii). Thus, we approach recruitment as a practical accomplishment coordinated by both researchers and (possible) recruits. Interactional studies have examined instances of recruitment in telephone surveys (e.g., Nolen & Maynard, 2013) and randomized control trials (Wade et al., 2009), showing that it is a complex interactional accomplishment (e.g., howrecruiters might describe or persuade and how recipients might decline requests to participate). Rather than empirically demonstrating recruitment, in this article, we highlight the categorical logic underlying recruitment with a focus on the aspects that involve unequal power relations. Our aim in providing this brief sketch is to offer a broader conceptualization of recruitment and highlight key aspects for researchers to consider.
oh hey look! what joy! a new (online advance) publication.
my analytic bestie and comrade Dr Emma Tennent and myself offer psychologists a provocative recommendation; don't recruit participants for psychological research. (get in touch if you'd like a copy 💗) #EMCA

New from me in Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour! Social theorists have trouble explaining how intersubjectivity is possible if norms are open-ended. I contrast two proposed solutions (offered by Talcott Parsons and Harold Garfinkel), both ultimately unsatisfying. #EMCA 1/4

Congratulations to ⭐️Dr⭐️ @giliannoord.bsky.social who successfully defended his #EMCA PhD on primary care telephone consultations on Wednesday. There was indeed gold at the end of this rainbow when we (& main supervisor Alison Pilnick) did the mock viva a couple of weeks ago. Brilliant, Gilian! 🌈🥳

Q for #EMCA colleagues who recently collected video data of interaction in a room (not a dynamic or follow-along scene). Did you go for action cameras, phones, or camcorders and why?Any limitations regarding resolution, shape/angle or continuous footage time? Any tips pls message me. Thanks!
