Author Biographies

  • Kaoru Hayano, Japan Women’s University

    Kaoru Hayano (PhD, Radboud University Nijmegen with affiliation to Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) is associate professor at the Department of English, Japan Women’s University (Japan). She specializes in conversation analysis with a primary focus on interactions in Japanese. Her research interests include interactants’ orientations to epistemics, grammar in interaction, and embodiment as a resource for addressing. In her recent publications, she reports on the organization of interactions between nursery schoolteachers and parents and alternative formats of responses to polar questions.

  • Danielle Pillet-Shore, University of New Hampshire

    Danielle Pillet-Shore (PhD, University of California at Los Angeles) is professor of communication at the University of New Hampshire (USA). Specializing in conversation analysis, her research examines videorecorded naturally occurring interactions, focusing on how people create and maintain their relationships. She is currently investigating how both previously acquainted and unacquainted parties open and close their face-to-face interactions across a wide variety of settings, as well as how primary schoolteachers and their students’ parents interact during parent–teacher conferences. She is on the editorial board of Research on Language and Social Interaction, and previously guest edited a 2018 special issue of ROLSI organized around the theme ‘Opening and Maintaining Face-to-Face Interaction’.
