This PhD research will be a case-study investigation into interactions within a voluntary association, using conversation analysis (CA) within a participatory action research (PAR) framework in order to document and critically assess communication between group members and support the group to strengthen their processes and fulfil their own aims. The research will explore: a) What happens in organisational interactions of a voluntary association?b) (How) does (a) relate to and impact on the success of the group in achieving its aims (as understood by the group members themselves)?c) (How) can CA and PAR be combined to produce purposeful knowledge that is useful for and based on the priorities of a voluntary association?This study will contribute to understanding of the role voluntary associations play within society, and understanding of group decision-making processes. By making use of this innovative combination of research methods for the first time, this study will also contribute to the development of both CA and PAR. Using CA within a PAR research framework has the potential to allow increased impact of CA findings for an organisation, by moving beyond provision of expert advice towards deeper understanding of the research by participants and a stronger investment in taking action. Meanwhile, knowledge gained about how a group of volunteers work together to make change in the world could help to inform and enhance PAR practices, because PAR is based on principles of inclusion, participation, valuing all voices, and action-oriented interventions (O'Neill 2010). By piloting the combination of CA and PAR, I will also be developing a new way of doing research that could be drawn upon by other researchers wishing to combine these approaches.

这项博士研究将是对志愿协会内部互动的案例研究调查，在参与性行动研究（PAR）框架内使用对话分析（CA），以记录和批判性地评估团体成员之间的沟通，并支持团体加强他们的能力。流程并实现自己的目标。该研究将探讨：a）志愿协会的组织互动中会发生什么？b）（a）（如何）与团体成功实现其目标（如团体成员自己所理解的）相关并产生影响？ c) （如何）将 CA 和 PAR 结合起来，产生对志愿协会有用并基于志愿协会优先事项的有目的的知识？这项研究将有助于理解志愿协会在社会中发挥的作用，以及对群体决策的理解——制作过程。通过首次利用这种创新的研究方法组合，本研究也将为 CA 和 PAR 的发展做出贡献。在 PAR 研究框架内使用 CA 有可能增加 CA 研究结果对组织的影响，超越提供专家建议，让参与者更深入地了解研究，并加大采取行动的投资。同时，获得关于一群志愿者如何共同努力改变世界的知识可以帮助指导和加强 PAR 实践，因为 PAR 是基于包容、参与、重视所有声音和以行动为导向的干预措施的原则 (O'尼尔 2010）。通过试验 CA 和 PAR 的结合，我还将开发一种新的研究方法，其他希望结合这些方法的研究人员可以借鉴这种方法。
