Sally Wiggins Young is a Professor at Linköping University specializing in social interaction and discursive psychology. Her work examines the mechanics of social interaction in everyday life, focusing on aspects that are often taken for granted. Young is particularly interested in food, eating, and learning within group settings, addressing how these mundane activities provide insights into psychological states and social habits. Her research utilizes video recordings of family mealtimes and preschool lunches to explore how seemingly trivial aspects of life can reveal deeper social and psychological insights. She has contributed significantly to the understanding of gustatory pleasure, disgust, food preferences, and satiety through her studies. Additionally, Young's research delves into Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a student-centered educational approach that relies on group interaction, and investigates the dynamics of tutorial interactions among students. This work captures the details of talk and gesture in tutorial settings, offering a nuanced view of how students negotiate social and academic identities while creating knowledge collaboratively.
