On alternate years UCSB and UCLA graduate students organize a spring
conference to encourage the presentation of research, and to provide a
forum for scholarly engagement on issues in language and social
interaction. This is the eleventh year of the conference, and its fourth
time at UCSB. Historically the conference has presented research in the
traditions of conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, the
ethnography of communication, language and education, and qualitative and
quantitative research methods.
