Social interaction, conversation analysis

Biography

I study social interaction in different settings and draw on conversation analysis as my research method. Currently, I focus on workplace settings and examine how break-taking activities contribute to social solidarity and support between colleagues and to the creating and sharing of work-related knowledge. I also focus on nature settings and analyse how family members construct the human–nature relationship and direct each other to conduct themselves in an appropriate way in nature.
