Bücher von Sara Keel

Presenting a series of empirical studies by scholars working with approaches from ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, this book studies naturally occurring work and training encounters among medical and healthcare professionals or between professionals and patients.

Featuring footage of families filmed in their homes, the author focuses on the initiation of interactive assessment sequences on the part of children with their parents and the manner in which, by means of embodied resources, such as talk, gaze, and gesture, they acquire communicative skills and a sense of themselves as effective social actors.
