The aim of the CA&CE meetings is to bring our international community together to share research findings and promote methodological excellence and innovation in the application of conversation analytic (CA) methods to communication during health care encounters; and to consider how we can best ensure that our research is meaningful to patients and their family members, health care professionals, clinical educators, and policy makers.
We are delighted to announce that our keynote speakers for CA&CE 2024 are:
Alison Pilnick, Professor of Language, Health & Society, Manchester Metropolitan University
Steven Bloch, Professor of Communication and Social Interaction, University College London
Johanna Ruusuvuori, Professor of Social Psychology, Tampere University, Finland
Rose McCabe, Professor of Clinical Communication at City, University of London
The CA&CE meetings have evolved a certain ‘style’; they are relatively small –numbers are capped, there’s plenty of opportunity to discuss papers and participate in data sessions, allowing the opportunity to work with and explore a wide variety of original data. So, there’s a real emphasis on participation, interchange, sharing research ideas and findings – as much of a ‘hands on’ approach as is possible within the constraints of such a meeting.
The final day of the CA&CE meeting is particularly focused on how our work can connect with professional/practical problems and patients’ experiences, aiming to foster productive interchanges.
Because numbers are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, early registration is advised.
