This should be really good! Wiggins has a talent for clear, sharp and entertaining writing, and is probably the world's authority on social interaction around meal times and other occasions when people eat together.

Upcoming book on 'Researching children's mealtimes' due out in October and aimed at researchers across the social sciences interested in interactional analyses of children's eating in everyday settings. Perfect for #EMCA, DP, & language socialisation research. www.routledge.com/Researching-...

Fascinating to hear that people use 300 words per day fewer between 2005 & 2019. But it doesn't quite mean that we've lost 300 x 365 days x 14 years = 1.5 million words each. (!) Not if it's the same 300 words.

Clip from Pfeifer & Mehl 2026: 
… The participants arranging an age from 10 to 94, were part of 22 studies conducted over the span of 14 years and resided mostly in the United States as well as Mexico Australia and Europe. The report yield an estimate for the average number of spoken words per day at 12,792 an estimate noticeably lower than normal prior study from 2007 yield it using the same method… bar relate in the aspens of participants daily spoken words to the year that it was collected we discovered that for each year between 2005 and 2019 an average of 338 fewer words be spoken per day… At first glance 300 also words seem like a small insignificant l but as tribute 338 were today may feel the loss of these daily spoken words unavoidably adds up.

Linköping University is an ideal venue for ICCA in 2030. There is a wonderful EM/CA team there, the campus is modern and well-resourced, and the city itself is easy to get to from Stockholm for those coming from abroad. Congrats to @profsalwiggins.bsky.social & colleagues for hosting.

Candy Goodwin elaborates the “Unity of duality” that is the final voyage from which no traveller returns. Accepting the presence of death in everyday life is to embrace dying as an essential part of life. So profound — thank you, @Candy! #ICCA2026
