My general field of research is multimodal social interaction in different types of everyday situations, ranging from foraging activities to interactions in class or at home. I examine the orderly practices of human sociality and how discourse participants deploy spoken language, embodiment, artefacts and their surrounding context in the construction of actions and activities. In some of my research it is also relevant to examine how participants' actions in situ are influenced by their personal histories and discourses circulating the setting. I draw on conversation analysis, interactional linguistics and nexus analysis in my research.
