Abstract
CASW online seminar- 4th September 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Studying key concepts in social work as observable interactional phenomena using Conversation Analysis
This seminar highlights the valuable contribution that Conversation Analysis (CA) offers to understanding social work interactions. CA's focus on in-depth exploration of actual instances of interaction makes it highly relevant for practice, providing insights into how social problems are addressed on an interactional level in social work settings. Furthermore, its collaborative approach to analysis can contribute to the promotion of collaboration between researchers and practitioners. The seminar will first introduce CA as a research method in social work and share findings from current conversation analytic research by members of the CASW SIG team on warmth, respect and trust as interactional phenomena in social work encounters. Finally, we will discuss the contributions, prospects, and challenges of CA research in social work.
Structure:
• Introduction to conversation analysis as a research approach in the field of social work/Jon Symonds, University of Bristol.
• Presentation 1: Warmth and respect in social work practice/Steve Kirkwood, Eve Mullins, University of Edinburgh.
• Presentation 2: Trust as an interactional phenomenon in social work encounters/Sabine Ellung Jørgensen, University of Copenhagen.
• Discussion of the contributions, prospects, and challenges of CA research in social work
