“…Discursive psychologists and conversation analysts have investigated the denials of racism and debates about race‐related affairs (Augoustinos & Every, 2007; Durrheim et al, 2015; Wetherell & Potter, 1992), and the situated deployments of race categories (Shrikant, 2022; Shrikant & Sanbaraju, 2021; Whitehead, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2019) in various interactional settings (see commentaries and reviews by Durrheim, 2014; Gibson, 2021; Robles & Shrikant, 2021; Whitehead, 2017). Recent investigations have turned to racism at the point of its production (Bolden et al, 2022; Joyce & Sterphone, 2022; Laurier et al, Under Review). In comparison to this proliferate body of research, very few discursive psychological (DP) and conversation analytic (CA) research has attended to how people talk about their experiences of racism.…”

This study examines how experiences of racism are talked about during broadcast interviews. Inspired by discursive-psychological and conversation-analytic investigations on experience in interactions, this study approaches experience as a 'loose term' and as a participant's issue in the unfolding sequence of talks. The analysis documents a range of interactional moments wherein experiences are invoked and negotiated over the course of reporting racism in the interviews. The findings align with the existing discursive-psychological and conversation-analytic research on experiences, and provide further evidence on how speakers jointly orient to and manage the issues of who knows and owns an experience, and has the premier authority to claim an experience, in relation to reporting racism. The analysis unveils the intricacy of inquiring and talking about a victim's experience of racism. People's (use of) common sense understanding of the detrimental nature of racism is met and complicated by an orientation to our unlevelled access to an experience of racism, which is a category-based societal problem.

This paper explores the social action of sanctioning an interlocutor’s conduct in public spaces through social media. Using membership categorisation analysis (Hester and Eglin 1997), we examine how, in offline face-to-face disputes filmed by one party, interactants deploy the name ‘Karen’ to sanction someone and threaten the transposition of the recording onto social media to impose accountability to the public at large. Our findings show how sanctioning through categorising an individual as a ‘Karen’ is interactionally achieved through framing conduct as entitled or otherwise problematic, distinguishing in-situ production of ‘Karen’ from a delivery that is perceptually unavailable to an interlocutor. We explore how social media functions as a resource to shape the ongoing encounter by orienting to the camera, and thus the online audience, as an external authority.
