It's nearly time for CA day!
I'm so:::::: looking forward to the **18th** year of #EMCA @darg-sessions.bsky.social @lborouniversity.bsky.social having made a tragic diary error last year and missing it.
Here's the registration link and terrific programme:

Conversation analysts can you help me out with a response to reviewers? Plz share any evidence that training developed from CA can (a)change healthcare professional behaviours (b)change health outcomes PLUS (c) any references of ‘good practice’ identified through CA being absent from guidance. 🙏
Come across Conversation Analysis and want to know more?
Loughborough University's annual online CA for Beginners workshop is on Jan. 15, 2026.
Talks, group work & data sessions with experts.
Registration (£45 or £90) is now open.

Terrific day visiting my alma mater to present our new research project.
On top of that, it has been an absolute pleasure to listen to so many innovative and exciting talks.
#EMCA research in police and legal settings continues to flourish.
It’s the morning after Forensic Conversations and we’ve gathered for a data session. We’re on a deep dive into a 911 call from MA Criminology student Scarlett Vaughan’s recently submitted thesis 👏
@charlesantaki.bsky.social is closing Forensic Conversations 25 with some reflections on the day.
What a day it’s been! Huge thank you to every speaker, attendee and to @darg-sessions.bsky.social who make this day such a joy to organise and participate in.
A really exciting field to be in!

‼️ Abstract submission deadline ‼️

Tip for PhD applicants reaching out to prospective advisors: Don’t use an LLM to write these emails. It’s not a great first impression to express your admiration for a recent paper the faculty member published if that paper does not exist.
