What is YorCCA?

The York Conference on Conversation Analysis (YorCCA) is a CA conference organised by PhD researchers at the University of York and affiliated with the Centre for Advanced Studies in Language and Communication (CASLC). The conference aims to provide a welcoming environment for PhD researchers to present their work to fellow PhD researchers and established academics and to receive feedback and advice as they develop their projects. Our hope is that YorCCA will contribute to the academic and professional development of PhD researchers in CA.

The last conference took place on Friday 18th July 2025 and featured two invited speakers alongside presentations from PhD researchers. The presentations were delivered in person and also streamed online. For PhD researchers who attended in person, optional CA skills workshops led by the invited speakers were held the following morning.
