Programme

09.30: Welcome, presentations

09.40–10.20: Airi Lampinen

We present video data from a two-day drone challenge during which teams were invited to create a movement-based performance with an aerial drone. Broadly, we are interested in how people learn to interact with and come to make sense of this type of technology.

Navigating Socio-Technical Practices in Interactional Spaces in Multilingual Workplaces: A Focus on Manager-Employee Meetings

In this data session, I would like to focus on a video-recorded interaction in a multilingual company in Sweden, where many employees speak languages other than Swedish or English. Using an EMCA and MCA-inspired analysis of socio-technical practices, the discussion focuses on how one-to-one meeting between manager and employee is conducted using google translate app; and how professional/linguistic situated identities are characterized and ascribed through these practices.

11.15–11.55: Donald McMillan

We present video data from a study of older and younger adults cooking a recipe with a voice agent. The agent in question is wizarded to allow it to respond as if it was able to understand the recipe contents, and the ongoing task progression of the user. We are interested initially in how within the limited interaction with the agent the user is able to establish common ground and make this contextual understanding available to use in commands to the agent.
