Doctor of Philosophy in Education - Language, Interaction, and Social Organization (Interdisciplinary Emphasis)

The Language, Interaction, and Social Organization (LISO) unit at UC Santa Barbara has two components: an Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Emphasis that graduate students can undertake as part of their doctoral degree, and an Interdisciplinary Humanities Center Research Focus Group that sponsors talks by invited speakers. The Ph.D. Emphasis has formal participation from the Departments of Communication, Education, Linguistics, and Sociology. However, faculty and graduate students from all disciplines are welcome to participate. LISO faculty and graduate students conduct research on language use and other communicative action in their naturally occurring interactional contexts with a special appreciation for the importance of those immediate contexts for understanding human conduct and the need for recordings made within those contexts for studying it. Members of LISO study informal conversational interaction as well as such institutional contexts as classrooms, and 911-Emergency calls. Some members study child language acquisition and socialization?again with a special emphasis on the importance of the local natural contexts of those processes?while others investigate the connection between grammar and interaction and still others examine the connection between language and culture.
