Research interests:

My current research is focused around the use and development of conversation analytic methods, for example, the notation and analysis of emotional expression within social interaction, the interactional role of interrogatives such as tag questions, parents' strategies for managing their children's behaviour, and the empirical grounding of these interests in NSPCC child protection helpline interactions, and family mealtime interactions.
