My new paper on how patients use epistemic markers like “I read” and “I heard” is out. I show that epistemic markers allow patients to assert their agency while acknowledging medical authority #EMCA www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
“I read a bit of information”: Epistemic markers as a resource for enacting patients’ agency

If you're going to be in Chicago tomorrow (August 6) come to the Voco hotel at 11am to catch my presentation, "Typical Expectations and the Moral Order: Talcott Parsons, Harold Garfinkel, and the Sticky Problem of Meaning" at the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction @sijournal.bsky.social!
A useful and enlightening survey of members of the EM/CA community, especially of those whose voices are less often heard.
Can you use AI in teaching Conversation Analysis? @bogdanahuma.bsky.social reports using a remarkably real-sounding AI-generated podcast, ostensibly discussing a CA paper. Will students spot its mistakes, trivial and profound? The new ROLSI.net blog here: rolsi.net/2025/05/30/g...

This is too good to be true <3 "Many qualitative methodological approaches are already very vibey [...] In this article, I reflect on these approaches and outline some vibes-based methods. I discuss how vibes-based methods help us consider and work with the generative ambiguities of social life."
Vibes-based methods - Ash Watson, 2025

"What my students paradoxically fail to realize, in their zeal to be responsible, is that describing things by certain characteristics rather than others merely because those characteristics are countable is a profoundly subjective decision."
