Introducing Heritage Connectedness: Connections to People, Nature and Place Across Time are Associated with Wellbeing and Environmentalism
Humans have a deep desire for connectedness. A sense of relationship with heritage potentially stands as an important form of connectedness that matters for both personal and planetary wellbeing. Exploring the concept of heritage connectedness is the overarching aim of this paper. Focus groups and interviews were used to understand what heritage connectedness means to people. Then, using a new heritage connectedness measurement approach, a large-…
An agenda for creative practice in the new mobilities paradigm
Creative practices have made a standing contribution to mobilities research. We write this article as a collective of 25 scholars and practitioners to make a provocation: to further position creative mobilities research as a fundamental contribution and component in this field. The article explores how creative forms of research—whether in the form of artworks, exhibitions, performances, collaborations, and more—has been a foundational part of sh…
Actively Noticing Nature (Not Just Time in Nature) Helps Promote Nature Connectedness
The climate and biodiversity crises reveal a failing human–nature relationship. The psychological construct of nature connectedness provides a means for understanding and improving that relationship. Furthermore, recent research suggests that higher levels of nature connectedness benefit both people and the environment, promoting pro-nature conservation actions, pro-environmental behaviors, and greater personal well-being. Nature connectedness is…
Children’s Whining in Family Interaction
Children’s whining is identified in extracts of video-recorded social interaction at home with siblings, parents, and other family. “Whining” is primarily a vernacular category, but it can be identified in terms of a set of phonetic features including pitch movement, loudness and nasality, and contrasted with crying. We focus on the uses and consequences of whining, in and for social interaction. Rather than identifying and attributing experienti…
Recruitments, engagements, and partitions: Managing Participation in Play
This paper examines the social practices children use to manage participation in play activities. Part of a wider research project looking at children's physical activity in play, this article considers the role of social interaction in shaping active play. The focus is on how children get others to take part in play they have initiated, and how inclusion and exclusion in play is managed. The data examined are video-recordings of seven- to eight-…

Intervening With Conversation Analysis in Telephone Helpline Services: Strategies to Improve Effectiveness
This article overviews the way conversation analytic work on telephone helplines can make an impact in practical situations. It takes three illustrative themes in helpline research: (a) the giving, receiving, and resisting of advice; (b) the expression of strong emotion and its identification, management, and then coordination with helpline goals; and (c) how helplines’ policies and practices shape the interactions between caller and call taker. …

Mobilising recipiency: Child participation and 'rights to speak' in multi-party family interaction
Extending client-centered support: Counselors' proposals to shift from e-mail to telephone counseling
The availability and use of online counseling approaches has increased rapidly over the last decade. While research has suggested a range of potential affordances and limitations of online counseling modalities, very few studies have offered detailed examinations of how counselors and clients manage asynchronous email counseling exchanges. In this paper we examine email exchanges involving clients and counselors through Kids Helpline, a national …
My f***ing personality”: Swearing as slips and gaffes in live television broadcasts
This paper examines instances of swearing in live television broadcasts. While some cable television shows routinely involve swearing without censorship and recorded shows may include swearing “bleeped out,” our interest is in instances of swearing in contexts where swearing is prohibited. We look at live interviews and panel debates where swearing is clearly noticed and reacted to strongly — and in all cases retracted or apologized for in some w…
Have You Talked with a Teacher Yet?’: How Helpline Counsellors Support Young Callers Being Bullied at School
When seeking help and support about being bullied, children and young people weigh up the benefits and risks of talking to their friends, parents, teachers and counsellors about their experiences. The focus of this article is calls to an Australian helpline for children and young people where the strategy of ‘talking to the teacher’ is discussed by callers and counsellors as a possible way of dealing with the caller’s bullying situation at school…
Walking Out on Air
This article explores walkouts from news interviews. The majority of these exhibit recurrent interactional features, which are described. Latent hostility becomes manifest at the very moment of the walkout. Just seconds before, there are few clues of the interviewee's forthcoming departure. Walkouts can thus appear as “outbursts.” Cases where hostilities remain almost entirely latent are then considered, where interviewees establish noncomplainin…
Address Terms in Turn Beginnings: Managing Disalignment and Disaffiliation in Telephone Counseling
This article examines use of address terms by counselors on a telephone counseling service for children and young people. Drawing on conversation analytic findings and methods, we show how personal names are used in the management of structural and interpersonal aspects of counseling interaction. Focusing on address terms in turn beginnings—where a name is used as, or as part of, a preface—the analysis shows that address terms are used in turns t…
Script proposals: A device for empowering clients in counselling
Much of the research on the delivery of advice by professionals such as physicians, health workers and counsellors, both on the telephone and in face-to-face interaction more generally, has focused on the theme of client resistance and the consequent need for professionals to adopt particular formats to assist in the uptake of the advice. In this article we consider one setting, Kid’s Helpline, the national Australian counselling service for chil…
Advice-implicative Interrogatives: Building “Client-centered” Support in a Children’s Helpline
Interactional research on advice giving has described advice as normative and asymmetric. In this paper we examine how these dimensions of advice are softened by counselors on a helpline for children and young people through the use of questions. Through what we term “advice-implicative interrogatives,” counselors ask clients about the relevance or applicability of a possible future course of action. The allusion to this possible action by the co…

Managing medical advice seeking in calls to Child Health Line
Child Health Line is a 24-hour Australian helpline that offers information and support for parents and families on child development and parenting. The helpline guidelines suggest that nurses should not offer medical advice; they do, however, regularly receive calls seeking such advice. This paper examines how the service guidelines are talked into being through the nurses' management of callers' requests for medical advice and information, and s…
No, We're Not Playing Families: Membership Categorization in Children's Play
In this article, we use Sacks's (1992) work on membership categorization in children's play and games as an analytic basis for examining the organization of play sequences between 6- and 7-year-old children. We collected and examined around 33 hr of audio-recorded interactions between children in the school playground. We discuss how the children used membership categorization devices and their associated rules and applications to organize social…
A Rhetorical Approach to Discussions about Health and Vegetarianism
Typically, research on vegetarianism has sought to identify the psychological characteristics that distinguish vegetarians from meat-eaters. Health concerns have been identified as a motivation for meat abstention. In this article, rhetorical analysis of Internet discussions about health and vegetarianism highlights the argumentative orientation of explanations for meat consumption, with the various constructions of health serving a rhetorical fu…
