Laura Kohonen-Aho

I work as a postdoctoral researcher (Research Council of Finland, 2022–2025). In my research project ‘Beyond individual experiences towards social VR’ I explore the accomplishment of social and collaborative activities in immersive virtual reality. I use multimodal conversation analysis to study the situational use of interactional resources in the production and ascription of social actions across VR settings.
