CV

Conversation analyst and phonetician.

I research social interaction in the workplace, including crisis negotiations, and interactions between members of the public and service providers within health and commercial organizations. 

I co-develop CARM, an approach to turning conversation anlaytic research into training for professionals.

I was co-chief investigator in the CAiTE project (Conversation Analytic innovation for Teacher Education) at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN, 2018-2021), investigating the oral assessment practices used in interactions between teachers and students in Norwegian secondary schools. We implement and evaluate training for teacher students based on conversation analytic research.

I co-ordinate the Master programme in speech and language therapy at NTNU, and develop research using a conversation analytic approach to better understand different types of communication disorders.

I have a BA and MA degree from NTNU (2000-2005); a PhD from the University of York (2008-2011); I was Research Fellow at the University of Oxford (2011-2013) and Loughborough University (2014-2019).
