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!

✨ I feel truly honoured to be a monograph author in #emca and #interactionallinguistics!!!
you hear stories about the thoroughness of fact checkers at the New Yorker, but then they somehow print something calling Schegloff and Sacks "linguists" #emca
Does your research look beyond "AI disruption" to examine actual practices?
Along with @dipanjan-saha.bsky.social, we invite you to propose an abstract for our panel at the #EASST2026 conference in Kraków, 8–11 September.

This is more of a pragmatic action than word. But its something we'd love to get our teeth into in #EMCA i dont know we've done it yet but maybe? @emdoesca.bsky.social ?
My colleagues and I have been invited by Routledge to put together a book proposal for an edited collection on discourse and interactional perspectives on #humanAIinteraction. The call is quite broad, so the final proposal can be shaped by the contributions we receive #HCI #EMCA #conversationalAI
Perhaps one of the most interesting #EMCA papers I have ever read.
Schegloff's "On some questions and ambiguities in conversation" (1984).
Are interrogative forms the ultimate basis for hearing an utterance as doing questioning?
What is the role of language in making actions recognizable as such?

Hi, #EMCA colleagues: have you or your colleagues been awarded a Marie Curie or an ERC for a project involving Conversation Analysis or Interactional Linguistics? If possible, I'd love to be able to have a quick chat with anyone who has been successful or who may have come close to it. Thanks!
