Our topic is health care communication, but its scope is such that it should appeal more broadly to our LEF members by raising some interesting methodological issues. In addition we hope to address the ‘So what?’ question about linguistic ethnography, mindful that issues around impact and purpose are becoming increasingly pressing for us as researchers.
We will look forward to your contributions to the seminar.
