Researching talk and interaction: What do people do and how do they do it?
Pentti Haddington
Ph.D.
Biography
I am Professor of English and interaction, Adjunct Professor (Docent) in Multimodal interaction analysis (University of Jyväskylä), and director of the Eudaimonia Institute. My research is based on video-based methods that are used for studying everyday talk and interaction. I am currently leading three international and funded research projects. (1) Generation Z and Beyond (2018-2022) is one of the University of Oulu's profiling projects funded by the Academy of Finland. (2) PeaceTalk (2019-2023, Academy of Finland) studies talk and interaction in crisis management training (e.g., UN military observers), focusing on interactional faetures of team cohesion and situation awareness. (3) iTask (2015-2022, Academy of Finland and the Eudaimonia Institute) investigates how people talk and interact as part of their busy everyday lives, while they are multitasking. I have spent research periods at the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Helsinki (Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies). I am also a principal investigator in the COACT research community.
