From S.B.Albert at lboro.ac.uk Mon May 5 04:20:04 2025 From: S.B.Albert at lboro.ac.uk (Saul Albert) Date: Mon, 5 May 2025 10:20:04 +0000 Subject: [emcai] First Pair Prompt: invitation to an EM/CA 'promptathon', 3rd July, Cardiff. Message-ID: Hi EMCAI people, William, Patrik, Liz and I want to invite you all to join in with 'First Pair Prompt': a hybrid event based at Cardiff University, UK & Online via Zoom (register here). It's the first in a series of three events that aim to explore EM/CA approaches to LLMs, bringing together a group of researchers to explore how principles, methods, and emerging study designs within EMCA can examine the interactional dynamics and conceptual puzzles posed by technologies that ?travel under the sign of AI", as Lucy Suchman (2023) puts it. Here's the invitation: https://emcai.conversationanalysis.org/first-pair-prompt/ We're aiming for about 25 people in total - and with a ratio of approximately 50% online, 50% in-person, so do sign up as soon as you can, and do feel free to share with anyone you think might be interested! Best, Saul, Will, Patrik, and Liz. -- Dr. Saul Albert, Senior Lecturer in Social Science (Social Psychology) School of Social Sciences & Humanities, Loughborough University office: +44(0) 1509228876 http://saulalbert.net | @saul / mastodon.social/@saulalbert [cid:b0526b05-8f4f-41df-89ce-18e1db1e61fd] Book time to meet with me -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Video Methods for Interaction Analysis and Design at Aalborg University In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear colleagues, Antonia Krummheuer and me are teaching a PhD course (3 ECTS) on interaction analysis and design, please share the invitation widely with students who might be interested. Best wishes, Hannah Pelikan -------- Interested in learning how to bridge interaction analysis and design? We would like to draw your attention to an upcoming course on The Social Side of Robots and AI. Video Methods for Interaction Analysis and Design. The course provides hands-on training on how to use video data for analysis and design prototyping. Learning Objectives: Students will gain knowledge and practical experience in: a) Planning and conducting video ethnographic studies, including data collection, transcription, and video analysis. b) Preparation and facilitation of collaborative data sessions and co-creation workshops, using techniques for rapid prototyping, including enactments, role-play, and bodystorming/vocal sketching. c) Facilitating and navigating interdisciplinary collaborations by using techniques that can bridge both fields. Target group This course is suitable for PhD students of social science and humanities, design and robotics, HRI or HCI who are interested in: a) Using video/audio recordings for analysing meaning-making processes in social settings in which robots or AI agents are or should be embedded, b) exploring interactional and embodied methods for designing robots and AI agents for interactions in real world settings, and c) developing an embodied and interactional understanding of human practices and human-centred design processes. We admit non-PhD students, including practitioners as space permits. For more information and registration, please see the course webpage: https://phdcourses.dk/Course/127201 Format: in-person Location: Aalborg University, Denmark Time: 12-15 August 2025 Instructors Dr. Antonia Krummheuer, Aalborg University Dr. Hannah Pelikan, Link?ping University -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear all, We are very grateful to everyone who has registered for this event - it looks like it's going to be a pretty big gathering in the end, which is lovely. If you are considering coming in person or online - please do register soon as we'll have to close registration if it gets very much bigger, and we want to make sure that as many emcai people can come as possible. We sadly did not include in-person registration options - so if you could let us know whether you'll be attending in-person, can you email us to let us know? Otherwise we'll assume you'll be there online. More details about the agenda and technology we'll use for hybrid working will be shared to tall registrants soon!

Link: https://liu-se.zoom.us/j/67554855790 This will be a discussion session. We would like to continue some thoughts that arose during our last meeting concerning the relation between EM/CA (of interactions involving non-humans) and posthumanism. We will prepare an introduction and some provocative statements/questions to kick off the discussion. We hope many of you are able to join this last session before the summer break!
