The fifth reading group meeting of the semester will be held next Tuesday at 15:30 (19th of April) in the meeting room of HUMAN Research Centre. We will read and discuss Goodwin’s oft-cited Discourse & Society paper of participation this week.
Goodwin, C. (2007). Participation, stance and affect in the organization of activities. Discourse & Society, 18(1), 53-73.
For the structure of reading group meetings (2015), see the list below:
We will start the reading group by summarising the articles, followed by an in-depth discussion of them.
Additionally, you may want to do some of the following in order to prepare for the discussion:
-
Write down any questions you may have about the articles
-
Find one or more passages that you find interesting
-
Think about how the points presented in the articles relate to other theories or to your own research
-
Choose the paper you agree with the most, then pretend to be the devil’s advocate and criticize the authors’ viewpoints
