ELECTION RESULT OUT!

Dear EMCA community,

we have received the results for the 2014 ASA elections and are happy to share them with you. The newly elected co-chairs are:  Robert Dingwall & Mardi Kidwell

They edged out the other co-chair candidates Morana Alac & Ilkka Arminen.

The two new Council members are: Patrick Watson & Aug Nishizaka

Bob Moore & Merran Toerien were not elected. Thank you to all those who voted, and especially to the candidates.  These were all narrow victories. The section's future depends on people that volunteer for these positions and take their tasks seriously.

Thanks also to those Council Members whose term now is coming to an end: Robert Dingwall, Virginia Teas Gill, Mike Lynch and Alison Pilnick.


The new leadership of the section will be organised as follows:

Co-chairs (2014 - 2016)
Robert Dingwall & Mardi Kidwell

Treasurer (2014 - 2015)
Ruth Parry (University of Nottingham)

Council 
Tim Berard (Kent State University) (2014 - 2015)
Doug Maynard (University of Wisonsin) (2014 - 2015)
Aug Nishizaka (Chiba University) (2014 - 2016)
Patrick Watson (Wilfred Laurier University) (2014 - 2016)
Erik Vinkhuyzen (Past Co-Chair)  (2014 - 2016)
Dirk vom Lehn (Past Co-Chair)    (2014 - 2016)


Thanks also to Virginia Teas Gill and Alison Pilnick for finding the candidates.

We look forward to working with the new co-chairs and council members. The ASA is coming soon, we hope to see you all there. We have decided to cancel the Grad student day this year (announced previously) and instead to work with the new co-chairs and try again next year.


Best regards,
Dirk and Erik

Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis Graduate Student Workshop

Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis Graduate Student Workshop

August 20, 2014



On the day after the ASA 2014 ends in San Francisco—August 20, 2014—the Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis section will organize a workshop for graduate students of the section at the Palo Alto Research Center, 45 minutes south of the city.

The goal of the workshop is to give graduate students an opportunity to present their research to a group of senior researchers and other graduate students in order to receive feedback and further
their analysis. A number of senior researchers will be there to provide feedback and lead the
discussions. We expect that each graduate student will have an hour to present.

To this end, we are seeking submissions from graduate students who are interested in presenting
data and receiving feedback on their research. We encourage students to submit proposals to present
their analysis of naturalistic video or audio data, documents and other artifacts. Please supply the
following information to erik@vinkhuyzen.com, by April 30th.


a)    Your name and affiliation & a short bio

b)   The focus of your research, and what kind of data you’ll bring related to that research
