معرفی
Dr. Guusje Jol serves as an Affiliate Researcher at Utrecht University's Faculty of Humanities within the Department of Languages, Literature and Communication. Her primary affiliation is with the Humanities Institute for Language Sciences, specializing in Language and Communication. Based at Transcomplex Trans 10 in Utrecht, she maintains active research engagement through the university's research portal.
Her research centers on high-stakes institutional interactions including police interviews with child witnesses, courtroom discourse, and vaccination consultations. Key interests involve ethical dilemmas in professional settings, interactional competence displays, and applying conversation analysis to real-world practices. She examines how linguistic structures shape outcomes in sensitive contexts like juvenile interrogations and medical decision-making.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals dominant trends in forensic linguistics (40%), medical communication (30%), and political discourse (20%). Her work consistently applies conversation analysis to institutional settings, with increasing focus on vaccination communication since 2022. Methodologically, she combines micro-analytic techniques with ethical considerations of secondary data use.
