Advice to grad students: “I would say make sure to go to many
conferences and participate in data
sessions and academic discussions so that you learn by doing and not just reading.”-Brian Due, U of Copenhagen #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social @linguistlist.bsky.social

“I always get so excited at LANSI hearing about how people are using language and social interaction research in so many different contexts. It's ‘omni-relevant’!” Kelly Frantz @BrynMawrCollege #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 #emca #lansibunch @iscaupdates.bsky.social @ica-lsi.bsky.social #altesolalum
“I also started acting as an expert witness in ‘hate speech’ cases against neo-fascist groups. I had to analyze their messages to show hatred and contempt towards various marginalized groups.” #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @lingsocam.bsky.social @linguistlist.bsky.social @ica-lsi.bsky.social
“but philosophy didn’t have the methodology to understand that, and then I learned about CA…” -Yuka Matsutani, @upenn #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025

“…not because
I was interested in repair specifically, but because it
turned out to be a great window into a lot of interesting interactional work that would be difficult to study otherwise." -Galina Bolden

the joy in it." - Kristella Montiegel

« Growing up, I always picked apart what people
said. I was so excited when I found discourse
analytic tools that give evidential backing to how
talk works and what it means. »-Natasha Shrikant, U of Colorado Boulder #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 photo by @rovinglinguist.bsky.social
« I’m really interested in using CA to show these students are autonomous and are actually really proficient communicators – and how our interactional moves can support and hinder those communications. » -Caroline Braun,
Boston College #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social
“I am interested in how people display, negotiate, and
share their emotions in interaction not just by talking, but also by using embodied action and
materials from their environment."
