We’re getting a run down of the predecessors, WorkBench, other available tools and the history of how GailBot came to be. Then, how it works and what it can do! Overlaps, sound stretch, speed up and silences

I'm very much looking forward to joining the InterAct Research Group (@interactemca.bsky.social) on the 28th of March to talk about 'how ‘vulnerability’ manifests as an interactional asymmetry in police interviews.' I'll be giving an overview of the work so far, then we'll get into some data.

Here, Emma Tennent & I combined calls made reporting domestic violence & abuse to the police in the UK & NZ.

We documented how lockdowns provided a new form of spatial-moral order; previously ordinary activities of coming/going from home took on new moral meanings.
