The field of ethnomethodological conversation analysis (“EMCA”), like the people whose interactions EMCA researchers investigate, is in motion. This important collection showcases cutting-edge approaches in the quest to understand the multimodal, embodied, and material domains of social interaction – while critically addressing fundamental questions about what EMCA research is, should, and can be.Elizabeth Stokoe, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
