LinC promotes and supports research initiatives on action, cognition and social interaction in groups and contexts of daily and working life (hospitals, companies, public administrations, schools, social services, families, foster homes, sports groups and so on).
Such research is characterized by the adoption of a situated research methodological perspective that uses combined ethnographic and video observation methods of social interactions and multimodal video analysis methods of interaction and discourse.
