Spring 2013 Visiting Scholar: Joseane de Souza, University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos, Brazil

 

Joseane de Souza is a PhD student at University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos, in São Leopoldo, Brazil. During the Spring 2013 semester she is a visiting scholar in the Department of Sociology at UW-Madison. Josie comes from an Applied Linguistics Department in Brazil. She and her research group, directed by professor Dr. Ana Cristina Ostermann, investigate doctor-patient consultations from a talk-in-interaction point of view, with emphasis on Conversation Analysis, Ethnomethodology and also Ethnography. Her ongoing research is about interaction between women with breast cancer and oncologists, and she is particularly interested in the delicacy involved (or not) in the expressions of feelings and concerns by these patients and how the doctors respond to them.
 
Previous studies by both Josie and the research group she is part of have been published (in Portuguese) in the recent book Humanization. Gender: Power. The Contribution of Talk-In-Interaction Studies to Health, edited by Ostermann and Meneghel  (Mercado de Letras, 2012).
