The Call and information on what is involved in organising sessions at ASA conferences is on the ASA website

Another Call for Papers for an EMCA Session at ASA 2014 in San Francisco

Ethnomethodological Studies of Healthcare and Medicine
organised by Gary David (Bentley)

Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis has a long history in studying healthcare. New technological innovations, treatments, policy decisions, and diagnoses continue to make healthcare and medicine fertile ground for EM and CA investigations. This session will provide emergent work being done from EM and CA in the study of healthcare, providing an opportunity to examine and discuss the impact these changes are having on the day-to-day work and practices that make healthcare and medicine.

ASA--2014 Call for papers, Section Session

Hi Everyone:

I'm the organizer for next year's ASA Section Session for EM and CA. This will be held at the ASA's Annual Meeting in San Francisco on August 16-19, 2014.

The official title of the session is: Current Studies in Ethnomethodology & Conversation Analysis

This session will address classic themes in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis with both theoretical and empirical work that is current. In other words, the studies are to show facets of everyday orderliness in various social fields.

Please think about submitting a paper or an extended abstract for review through the ASA website: http://www.asanet.org/meetings/call_for_papers.cfm

The more high quality papers we can schedule, the better our chances are for increasing the number of panels we offer, so your participation is particularly important.

The deadline for submission is January 8th, 2014.

Please also pass this invitation to others you know who may be considering coming to ASA this year. The EMCA group is pushing to expand membership this year, so if you can encourage your graduate students to join up, that would also be terrific!

I look forward to hearing from you!

With best wishes,
