Charles “Chuck” Goodwin, Ph.D 1977 University of Pennsylvania, Distinguished Emeritus Professor UCLA, Using videos of human interaction recorded within families, at archaeological and geological field sites, on an oceanographic ship, in the home of a man with severe aphasia, etc., he investigates the intertwining of language use, embodiment, and historically sedimented structure in the material world to describe the practices used to construct human action, sociality, skill, knowledge, and context in the midst of the lived social world.  Co-Operative Action (Cambridge University Press. 2018), brings together much of this research within a new theoretical framework.

John Haviland  (Ph.D. Harvard, 1972), is Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at UC San Diego and Director of its Linguistic Anthropology Laboratory.  He is an anthropological linguist with interests in the social life of language, including study of gesture, emerging sign languages, and interaction.  He has done long term fieldwork in aboriginal communities in Queensland, Australia and in Tzotzil-speaking communities in Chiapas, Mexico. He is an official Tzotzil interpreter for legal and health matters, engaging issues of legal and bureaucratic discourse.
