Biography

Emily Hofstetter is an Associate Professor at Linköping University, focusing on the study of everyday human interactions. Her research investigates the smallest details of interaction, particularly through recordings of sports play. Hofstetter's work highlights the holistic nature of language research and social interaction, exploring the processes and rules that organize how humans live in a social world. While ordinary conversations may often be taken for granted, she emphasizes their richness and complexity. Currently, she is working on main projects that examine how voice and body are used together in interaction and the concept of 'megagames' that facilitate discussions on pedagogy related to climate change. Her work has also examined institutional settings such as neonatal clinics and the dynamics of visiting local politicians, aiming to help colleagues foster safer environments through effective communication. Hofstetter utilizes conversation analysis as a primary methodology, creating videos for her research that are shared on YouTube. Further information about her full publications and film clips can be found on her personal website.
