About
My interests lie broadly in the study of language and social interaction. I came to this topic through studying discursive psychology as an undergraduate in the School of Psychology at the University of Adelaide, South Australia.
During my doctoral studies, also at Adelaide, I moved into the field of conversation analysis, studying how arrangements can be made between participants in Community and Home Care (CHC) service organisations. My thesis details how informings of future arrangements can be treated, by informers and recipients alike, as propositional. My thesis also considers practices of person reference in arrangement-making sequences - specifically the indexation of (un)acquaintance - and how misunderstandings can occur and be resolved.
My current research in the School of Social & Community Medicine at the University of Bristol is a study of online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for patients diagnosed with depression. The aim of this research is to identify interactional practices that function to accomplish the 'business' of psychotherapy.
