190 - Teaching Workshop. Teaching Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

This workshop will focus on innovative ways of teaching ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (EMCA) to novices, both in stand-alone courses and in modules/units within other sociology courses. Two EMCA scholars who are known for the quality of their teaching will share useful teaching exercises and strategies they have developed, as well as effective modes of assessment, helpful readings, and web-based resources. Workshop attendees will be encouraged to reflect upon and share their own teaching strategies as well. Attendees will learn new practices for enhancing the effectiveness of their own teaching and ideas for putting together new EMCA courses and modules. The goals of the workshop are: (1) to articulate and share experiences of those who teach EMCA at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and to provide resources to those who would like to begin doing so; (2) to provide a forum for discussing the challenges of and strategies for introducing EMCA to new audiences; and (3) to introduce specific resources related to course design, modalities of delivery, and assessment strategies in EMCA modules and courses.
