Abstract

During the course of this short article, I respond and connect with insights and issues raised by the Conversational Rollercoaster (CR) and its relationship with conversation analysis (CA) and the public science of talk. I constructively engage with the innovative thinking and practice associated with this initiative. Finally, I consider how this might enhance a potential drive to connect ethnomethodology (EM) and CA to additional public and collaborative practices and interventions in the digital age.
