Micro-Analysis Research Group (MARG)
MARG (pronounced MARGE), is a cross-institutional, interdisciplinary research group, founded in 2007, and organised in the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences at Newcastle University.
The principal aim of MARG is to provide a weekly informal forum for the presentation and group-based analyses of social-interactional data materials, typically spoken-data recordings, audio or video.
MARG sessions are not allied to any one particular analytic methodology, data type, or data setting, though members are typically interested in the micro-analysis of naturally-occurring spoken-interactional data, rendered in transcript form.
MARG provides a lively forum for the exchange and germination of research ideas, and provides the foundation for possible research collaboration. If you would like to join MARG, please send an email to Chris Jenks or Alan Firth.
