[emcai] Reminder EMCA/AI network meeting - 28 November 2025

[Rijk, L.E.M. de (Lynn)]

Dear EMCA/AI network members,


Hereby a  reminder for our last meeting of 2025, on Friday November 28th from 12.30-14.00 CET.

Meeting link: https://liu-se.zoom.us/j/67554855790


This will be another reading session, this time addressing the topic of trust which came up last meeting.
Our main reading will be:
Watson, R. (2009). Constitutive practices and Garfinkel’s notion of trust: Revisited. Journal of Classical Sociology, 9(4), 475-499. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1468795X09344453

Watson’s article hopefully helps us discuss the concept on a deeper level, as it calls on Garfinkel’s formative chapter on trust (please find attached as well as background for those interested).
It raises among other things the difference between trust as background condition for participating in a practice vs. product of practice and interaction and the manifestation of trust in interaction vs. metrics of trust.

We would also like to share this informative background reading by Ivarsson and Lindwall, who apply the concept of trust as developed by Garfinkel to the field of conversational agents:
Ivarsson, J., & Lindwall, O. (2023). Suspicious minds: the problem of trust and conversational agents. Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), 32(3), 545-571. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10606-023-09465-8

We hope you are able to join this last meeting of the semester!

Best wishes,
Hannah, Yulia and Lynn
