During term time we run parallel strands of fortnightly sessions. Beatrix organises the lunchtime meetings which alternate between analysis of transcripts (from political speeches to family meals) and readings of classic texts in discursive psychology and conversation analysis. Eric organises afternoon meetings which are typically based on the close description and analysis of video materials (from dogwalking to break-dancing) and occassional readings of classics in ethnomethodology. From time to time we run masterclasses with visiting experts in DP, CA and ethnomethodology. Similarly we run shorter and longer workshops with a focus on one particular topic.
