Anyone interested?

This morning I received notification of this conference

I've had a hankering to attend one of these meetings for a couple of years now. The first call is for symposium proposals. Any EM/CA/MCA researchers interested in being part of a symposium on application of the methodology/ies to the examination of young children's social worlds?

On a related note, I've just been reading a paper by Carly Butler and Ann Weatherall. It has this lovely concluding statement:

"What matters in the playground is being able to recognize a game and its associated categories , knowing how to become a member of a device and category, and understanding the rules and regulations of category membership such as relevance and consistency. These skills involve the systematic deployment of cultural understanding and the moment-by-moment production of a shared cultural order. Children's culture can be understood in terms of these methods and practices with which they coordimate their talk and action (Goodwin, 1990). Children's talk in interaction is a prime site for further examination of the situated production of children's everyday lives.: (Butler & Weatherall, 2006, p. 466)
