In this episode, Elliott Hoey (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) interviews Lorenza Mondada, professor of linguistics at the University of Basel. Professor Mondada is now the world’s foremost authority on the analysis of video recorded social interactions, especially as regards the interplay of multimodal resources for the constitution of everyday and institutional activities. In recent work, she has examined in a series of papers the interpenetration of talk and ambulatory movement, she recently edited a volume on touch in social interaction, and coming out this summer is a monograph entitled Sensing in social interaction. Among many other sites, Lorenza has recorded in wine and cheese shops all over Europe, as well as bakeries and butcheries, in train depots and border crossing stations, art museums and garden tours, and documented activities from dumpster diving to fine dining. Given this truly remarkable breadth of fieldwork, she was the perfect person to talk to about data collection.
In this episode, Saul Albert (Loughborough University) does a data session and a short interview with Anita Pomerantz, Professor Emerita in the Department of Communication at the State University of New York at Albany. Her conversation analytic work on agreeing and disagreeing, seeking and providing information and negotiating responsibility for blameworthy and praiseworthy deeds has been foundational for the field, opening up new areas of basic CA work, and has shaped the rich field of applied CA work – including her own – in medical and legal contexts. She has served as Chair of the Language and Social Interaction Divisions of both the National Communication Association and the International Communication Association, and has recently completed a book with Oxford University Press entitled “Asking and Telling in Conversation”

In this interview, Yumei and Candy talk about Candy’s early data sessions with Gail Jefferson, Charles Goodwin, and Erving Goffman, as well as data collection and analytic interests.
