CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Committee of the Digital Meeting for Conversation Analysis (DMCA) with support from the International Society for Conversation Analysis (ISCA) is delighted to announce a global virtual conference to be held from 31 October to 4 November 2022.
We are inviting submissions addressing both analytic and methodological topics in Ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis, Interactional Linguistics, Multimodal Interaction Analysis, Membership Categorisation Analysis, Discursive Psychology, and related fields of interactional research.
This online event will provide an accessible environment for the global EMCA community to present their research, build their academic network, and develop their skills in EMCA methods. Postgraduate research students and Early Career Researchers are strongly encouraged to present their work.
Keynote speakers
The keynote speakers will be Prof. Emma Betz from the University of Waterloo and Prof. Nick Enfield from the University of Sydney.
Plenaries, workshops, socials
Please join us for panels on publishing, grant writing, and a career in academia, as well as an Ask Me Anything session and a live episode of the State of Talk podcast. There will also be workshops on a range of topics, and, of course, presentations from researchers in all areas of the field. Various social events will allow you to catch up with colleagues and make new connections.
Streams
To accommodate different time zones, the conference will consist of two streams taking place in tandem: one for the EMCA community in Oceania and East Asia, and one for the community in the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
| Oceania and East Asia | Americas, Europe, and Africa |
| Mon 31 Oct 2022 – Fri 4 Nov 2022 | Mon 31 Oct 2022 – Fri 4 Nov 2022 |
| Jakarta – 7:00-12:00 Shanghai – 8:00-13:00 Sydney – 11:00-16:00 Wellington – 13:00-18:00 Honolulu – 14:00-19:00 (30 Oct – 3 Nov) | Los Angeles – 8:00-13:00 New York – 11:00-16:00 Santiago – 12:00-17:00 London – 15:00-20:00 Istanbul – 18:00-23:00 |
While abstracts are attributed to the most appropriate stream based on your location, we hope that both conference streams will connect researchers from around the globe and you are welcome to attend presentations and events from both streams.
Formats
The virtual environment of the conference offers a range of presentation formats to showcase your research. We encourage participants to consider innovative formats. You have the choice to submit one of the following:
Paper: A conventional presentation lasting a total of 20 minutes (15 minutes presentation + 5 minutes discussion).
Poster with an allocated poster session for discussion. Posters will be available throughout the conference. Note that digital posters can include multimedia and interactive elements.
Creative presentation such as a PechaKucha (20 slides x 20 seconds each), a 5-minute lightning talk, Three Minute Thesis, or any other original format suitable to present the research.
Panel for emerging EMCA communities around the world. The panel format provides the opportunity to present and discuss the research conducted in your EMCA community, or to discuss how your EMCA community was created and present ideas on how one could do so elsewhere. Panels usually involve 5-6 people, including a moderator, panelists and optional discussants. Depending on the number of speakers, a panel slot can be one or two hours long, with three speakers per hour. Please submit one abstract for the whole panel.
What is an Emerging Community? The aim of the panels is to facilitate diversity and to provide a place for researchers from lesser-known and less established communities and institutions as well as for those working on underrepresented languages to showcase their work. We therefore particularly invite and encourage researchers who meet these criteria to submit panel proposals:
- ECs are groups of 3 or more individuals who have been collaboratively working on a topic or area of language and social interaction research (for at least 6 months);
- EC includes researchers at any level who are currently affiliated to higher education institutions in Lower- and Middle-Income Countries.
Abstract submission
Please submit an anonymised abstract of between 300 and 400 words (including examples, if applicable) through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dmca2022. Abstracts should be submitted in English with appropriate glossing and/or translations for non-English data. The deadline for submissions is 30 April 2022.
If your submission is for a poster, a creative presentation, or a panel, please specify this by writing “POSTER”, “CREATIVE PRESENTATION”, or “PANEL” before the title of your abstract, so that your submission can be allocated to the appropriate session. For creative presentations, please indicate what specific format you envisage and how much time is required. For panel proposals, please indicate the number of speakers and proposed outline for the session.
Venue
The conference will be held virtually on the platform Whova using the teleconferencing software Zoom.
