Pentti Haddington

University of Oulu, Finland

Pentti Haddington is Professor of English Language at the University of Oulu, Finland. He uses video methods and conversation analysis to study talk and multimodal conduct in a range of different real-life and real-time social interactions. Together with his research team, his current interests concern interaction in multinational crisis management training, technology-created asymmetry in real-time digital interactions, and multiactivity. The research is done in two projects: Action and Intersubjectivity in the Digital Age (AIDA) and Talk and Interaction in Multinational Crisis Management Training (PeaceTalk). The team has recently co-edited two books, Complexity of Interaction (Palgrave Macmillan) and Ethnomethodological Conversation Analysis in Motion (Routledge). The books’ chapters explore ways in which people interact in complex and multi-layered situations and what methodological questions and challenges are involved in studying those contexts.
