II International Symposium on Social Interactions in Inclusive Settings

What is the symposium about?

The symposium addressed the wide topic of inclusion, particularly focusing on social interactions happening in inclusive social contexts. Inclusion is discussed from different perspectives. This year, the keynote speakers will discuss important matters related to trauma-informed practices in school, the social competencies of children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder, and multilingualism in Early Childhood Education. 

Additionally, the symposium brings the opportunity to learn interesting research methods. This year we are bringing experts from the Netherlands, Canada, and Norway to teach the basics of (1) Conversation Analysis in the classroom context, (2) Micro-genetic analysis of human development in early childhood, and (3) how to combine non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, sequential analysis, and generalized mixed-effects models to unravel complex interaction dynamics in a mixed-method approach. I am sure it will be great! 

What else does the symposium offer?

The students (from bachelor to doctoral level) from Tampere University can earn up to 3 study credits by attending the Symposium and delivering a written assignment designed especially for the event (for more information visit our webpage).
