Workshop 2
|

|
| |
First steps: Data collection and Transcribing
Multimodal and Mediated Interactions
|
| The second workshop of the PlaceME
network will take place in Stockholm on 10-11 May 2007. |
| Themes |
| The second workshop
will focus on bringing together doctoral students and some scholars across
the Nordic and Baltic region to explore and practise how to take the
first steps in doing data collection, transcription and analysis from
different methodological standpoints in relation to the core themes of
the network, namely, place, mediated discourse and embodied interaction. The format of the workshop will
consist of presentations and data explorations lead by Professor
Lorenza Mondada
(Université Lumière Lyon2, France), as well as
opportunities for data
sessions by participants, small working group breakouts and
reflections on methodology. We will also do some practical fieldwork.
Additionally, we will endeavour to
discuss the nature of the PlaceME network and what we share in common, but
also our differences, as well as the key issues that need to be
resolved to facilitate a synergy effect over and above our diverse
approaches.
We expect the workshop will be
attended by 30-35 persons. The network especially welcomes doctoral
students from the Nordic and Baltic region who are members of the
network to apply to attend (see below).
Participants will be required to
engage in some preparatory reading and exercises before the workshop
event itself.
|
| Dates and timing |
|
We expect that participants will arrive
during the evening of Wednesday 9th May (no dinner is provided). After two full days of
activities participants will leave the morning of Saturday 12th May
(after breakfast). Note that an extra day of data sessions will
take place on Saturday (provisionally between 9-15) for those who wish to participate, but if one
wishes to stay an extra night that is not paid for by the network. Two full days with meals and three nights
accommodation are provided. |
| Location |

The workshop is located on two beautiful
boats by the southern shore of lake Mälaren in the centre of
Stockholm. The hotel accommodation is on a boat called
LogInn Hotel.
The workshop will take place on an adjacent conference boat. The
check-in time for the LogInn Hotel is from 14:00-23:00 on Wednesday.
Here is a map to help you locate the
boat in central Stockholm. Click on the map for more detailed

| Grants |
| Grants will be available for PhD
students (and a few scholars) in the Nordic and Baltic countries to
participate in the workshops organised by the network. Please read
the grant protocol to see if you
qualify. |
| Applications |
If you wish to attend the workshop,
then there are two possibilities.
- You can
apply to attend the workshop and
to receive a grant for your travel
costs (cheapest possible route). Accommodation and food at the
conference site will be paid by the network.
- If you do not qualify for a
grant, you can apply to attend, but you will have to pay for
your own travel, accommodation and meals (there will be no
participation fee). To give you an idea of prices: Accommodation
and meals at the conference site (for 3 nights) is roughly 2000 SEK.
Meals for 2 days with no accommodation is roughly 800 SEK. There are a limited number of places for
this option.
The application form is online. Please fill out all the entries on
the form to expedite the application process.
Please note that applications will be
given priority according to the following criteria:
- Doctoral students from the Nordic/Baltic
region
- Relevance of research to the network and
workshop
- Quota according to each node/country
Also, over the three year period of
funding, priority will be given to first timers (PlaceME newbies or
PlaceMEbies).
If you would like more information
about the workshop and participation requirements, then please
