I'm writing a doctoral thesis on interaction in multicultural primary care consultations. The aim of the study is to provide more information on what kind of challenges diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds bring to the communicative doctor–patient relationship and how the participants manage them and contribute to creating a shared world. My principal method is conversation analysis. I work in the University of Turku, in Finland.
