Ian Hutchby
Ian Hutchby is Chair in Sociology at the University of Leicester. His work uses conversation analysis in various areas including the analysis of language in broadcasting, especially live interaction on television and radio (interviews, phone-ins and audience participation shows); the nature and limits of interactive technologies (telephones, expert systems, speech-based computers, and the world wide web); and the social competencies, linguistic and interactional skills of young children, especially their behaviour in institutional settings such as child counselling, and their interactions with technological devices. His books include Confrontation Talk (Erlbaum 1996), Children and Social Competence (Falmer 1998), Conversation Analysis (Polity 1998), Conversation and Technology (Polity 2001) and Media Talk (Open University Press 2006)
