Iira Rautiainen

I am a doctoral researcher in the research projects iTask: Linguistic and embodied features of interactional multitasking, funded by the Eudaimonia Institute, and PeaceTalk - Talk and interaction in Multinational Crisis Management Training, funded by the Academy of Finland. I examine interaction in collaborative situations in Military Observer training. In my doctoral dissertation, I use conversation analysis and ethnography to study team work during Military Observer training, focusing on vehicle patrolling. My research materials consist of audio-video recordings, ethnographic field notes and documents from multinational crisis management exercises.
