Antti Kamunen

I am an Assistant Professor of Language use and Comprehensive security in the SafeEarth research programme funded by the Research Council of Finland. In my research, I use conversation analysis to study the various linguistic and multimodal practices in social interaction, focusing on how expertise is communicated, shared, and utilised in professional communities. I work in close collaboration with the Finnish Defence Forces International Centre and work on video data collected on their courses and training exercises, mainly their UN Military Observer Course, on which I also teach a workshop on patrol team interaction. I have the title of Docent of Professional communication at the University of Tampere.
