In this special episode in honor of Emanuel A. Schegloff, you’ll hear an interview with John Heritage, professor emeritus of Sociology at UCLA and one of the key figures in Conversation Analysis.
For over 50 years, John Heritage and Emanuel ‘Manny’ Schegloff were both colleagues and close friends. In this episode, Sophia Fiedller interviews John about the ‘intellectual giant’ that Manny Schegloff was and continues to be to many of us. They talk about his scholarly work, his publications, his teaching, and his implication in the research field of CA of which he was a co-founder together with Harvey Sacks and Gail Jefferson. Interspersed within the interview are short, minute-long testimonials from Manny’s students, PhD candidates, and colleagues.
