Charles Goodwin is Professor of Applied Linguistics at UCLA. He received his Ph.D. from the Annenberg School of Communications, University of Pennsylvania, 1977. His interests include video analysis of talk-in-interaction (including study of the discursive practices used by hearers and speakers to construct utterances, stories, and other forms of talk), grammar in context, cognition in the lived social world, gesture, gaze and embodiment as interactively organized social practices, aphasia in discourse, language in the professions and the ethnography of science.
Professor Goodwin has done fieldwork analyzing family interaction in the United States, the work of oceanographers in the mouth of the Amazon, archaeologists in the United States and Argentina, and the organization of talk, vision and embodied action in the midst of surgery. As part of the Workplace Project at Xerox PARC he investigated cognition and talk-in-interaction in a complex work setting (ground operations at a major airport). With Marjorie Harness Goodwin, he has analyzed the interaction of children in the playground, and interaction in the home of a man with severe aphasia. Publications include Conversational Organization: Interaction Between Speakers and Hearers (New York: Academic Press, 1977), Rethinking Context: Language as an Interactive Phenomenon (edited with Alessandro Duranti, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1992), Conversation and Brain Damage (editor, Oxford University Press 2002) ‘Professional Vision’ American Anthropologist 1994, ‘Co-constructing Meaning in Conversations with a Man with Severe Aphasia’ Research on Language in Social Interaction 1995; ‘Seeing in Depth’ Social Studies of Science 1995; ‘Transparent Vision’ In Elinor Ochs, Emanuel A.
