"Applied Conversation Analysis: Social Interaction in Institutional
Settings is an accessible, informative, and thoughtful read that I
imagine students of many backgrounds in CA and qualitative methods
will find useful as they develop their research acumen."

"This is an invaluable introduction to doing an applied
Conversation Analysis project. It takes novice researchers through
the key principles and methods of the approach in an engaging and
sense-making way."
