THE 21ST ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON

LANGUAGE, INTERACTION, AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATION

The LISO conference promotes interdisciplinary research and discussion in
the analysis of naturally occurring human interaction. Papers will be
presented by national and international scholars on a variety of topics in
the study of language, interaction, and culture. The papers primarily
employ analysis of naturally occurring data drawing from methodologies that
include conversation analysis, discourse analysis, ethnographic methods,
ethnomethodology, interactional linguistics, and interactional
sociolinguistics. The conference theme this year is “Studying Interaction,
Advancing Social Justice: Identities, Ideologies, and Inequalities”. We
welcome abstracts from graduate students and faculty working in the areas
of Anthropology, Applied Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Communication,
Education, Linguistics, Psychology, and Sociology. Presenters will have 20
minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion.
