With a background in Linguistics, I have trained as a Conversation Analyst. I originally worked on ordinary everyday interaction within the area of interactional linguistics but eventually moved into applied CA, working on institutional interaction in a number of different, technologically complex and/or specialized environments, e.g. calls to the Danish emergency assistance service, 1-1-2, and calls to the Danish Police, 1-1-4.

For my PhD I worked on disease-specific patient education programs for self-management of chronic disease wherein patients – rather than e.g. having to come into the hospital for therapy every other day – are taught how to themselves monitor and treat their own disease at home. Focusing specifically on sequences wherein patients are instructed in how to operate necessary medical technology and physically handle different kinds of medical equipment, I attempted to describe the different instructional practices that were employed and to explicate the opportunities for participation and learning they provided.

This work lead me to also consider the physical properties and design of the medical equipment and technologies and how they influence, afford and restrict both the nurses’ instruction and the patients’ learning of the target medical procedure. For the current project I will continue to consider how the design and materiality of the objects and technologies that the patients must learn to use are both negotiated and exploited to promote learning. Currently, I am working on showing how the learning of a manual skill can be traced through the interactional practices and linguistic choices of the participants. Furthermore, I am investigating how the physical affordances of the medical objects and technology are not only negotiated in and through interaction but also differentiated and restricted to accommodate certain disease-specific medical requirements and relevancies.

In addition to my work on objects, I am involved in a number of projects of more general interactional relevance. With Jakob Steensig (Department of Aesthetics and Communication, Aarhus University) I am currently working on a project on Danish Ingressive Response Tokens, i.e. on the use of response tokens that are produced on inbreath. With Birte Asmuß and Sae Oshima (both Department of Business Communication, Aarhus University), I am working on a project on self-deprecating assessments in everyday and institutional interactions.
