CA Symposium

The 5th Australian CA Symposium will be held at Charles Sturt University in Albury from 24-26 November 2006.

The Discourse Analysis Group from the ANU is running another CA Symposium. This symposium will bring together people interested in research in conversation analysis. It will provide a community of experience, giving participants opportunities to present research, to share ideas, do data analysis, discuss issues in transcription and analysis, and to develop connections with colleagues. The symposium will involve presentations and data analysis sessions from participants and keynote talks from two invited speakers: Anna Filipi and Susan Danby.

The strength of the symposium in previous years is that its focus and size allows participants to work closely together and to engage in in-depth discussion. We would like to invite anyone working within the field of CA to attend. We would also like to call for expressions of interest to run a data session. It is anticipated that data sessions will be an hour in length. (Depending upon the level of interest, we may run parallel sessions.) In your abstract you should indicate the sort of data you wish to present and flag any important issues and themes that emerge in your data.

Enquiries and expressions of interest:
Intending data presenters should send details and an abstract of around 250 words to:
Libby Clark eclark@csu.edu.au before 20th October, 2006.
Non-presenting participants are welcome, and should also register interest before 31 October 2006.
