TEDU CAN Launch Event

Dear all,

Here is an announcement about the future of Micro Analysis Network. First of all, I would like to thank you all for following us almost for a decade, contributing to our activities, and participating in our events. Thanks to your endless support, our research group, originally started by Olcay Sert, Safinaz Büyükgüzel, and myself and later continued by Nilüfer Can Daşkın, Nergiz Kardaş İşler, Devran Demir, Fatma Badem and myself, has managed to disseminate Conversation Analytic research in Türkiye and helped a great number of researchers produce groundbreaking research in different fields of inquiry. I would also like to thank all research group members for their efforts and time that made Micro Analysis Network a leading group for so many years. 

Unlike what might have been implied above, this is not a farewell message 🙂

We are happy to announce that Micro Analysis Network is being TED University Conversation Analysis Research Group (TEDU CAN) and will continue its activities at TED University. Therefore, effective immediately, this email list, website, and Twitter/X accounts will use the “TEDU CAN” as the institutional/group name. TEDU CAN will organize seminars, courses, data sessions, reading groups, and many other activities. Using this semester as the interim period for the merge, we will not be releasing calls for data sessions. However, we will organize a Launch Event (see the event flyer above), an invited seminar and possibly hold a few in-house, face-to-face data sessions. From next semester onwards, we will be operating at full capacity with a diverse array of activities.

In concluding, I would like to kindly invite you to the TEDU CAN Launch Event (joint event with the DigiLTE project launch) and to follow updates from our research group (https://can.tedu.edu.tr/). Please explore the new website in addition to earlier communication channels (blog & Twitter).

Best regards, 

Ufuk Balaman
