Social interaction research aims at understanding the social practices through which members of society organize their social lives as orderly courses of action. This is done through naturalistic and/or ethnographic studies typically through video recordings of everyday activities. An emergent and increasing interest concerns humans’ interactions with technology, objects and other socio-materially relevant contingencies.
The Interaction Research Group pursues research on humans interacting in the world in a range of locally contingent arenas and contexts, including but not limited to
- Everyday interaction
- Human-Robot Interaction and user studies
- Professional practice and institutional interaction
- Multilingual interaction
- Intercultural communication
- Interculturality and neighboring languages
- Language learning and language teaching
