[PLing] Lecture: Prof. Dawn Archer, Deception detection in airport settings

[Gillings, Mathew]

Dear colleagues,
On 5th June 2024, we will be joined by Prof. Dawn Archer from Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. Many of you may know Dawn for her work in historical linguistics, corpus linguistics, and pragmatics, and she will be joining us in a couple of weeks to give a talk on deception detection in airport settings (in particular, focusing on the training of personnel to identify deception based on communicative cues). Please see the attached abstract and CV below. If you'd like to attend, please let us know by sending a short note to bizcomm.lectures at wu.ac.at<mailto:bizcomm.lectures at wu.ac.at>.

Lecture: "Deception detection in airport settings"<https://www.wu.ac.at/bizcomm/event-details/detail/public-lecture-dawn-archer>
Date: June 05, 2024
Time: 17:00
Location: D2.2.228, WU

Abstract
This talk initially explores an interaction between an official and a foreign national seeking to secure a visa so that they can enter another country. The aim in so doing is threefold: (1) to discuss how stress-inducing such interactions can be, thereby problematising deception detection; (2) the potential for assessing deception nonetheless, using methods such as the Six Channel Analysis in Realtime (SCAnR); and (3) the viability of Behavioural Detection Officers (BDOs), Air Marshals (AMs) and other airport personnel using "small talk" as a strategic tool for determining whether someone constitutes a Person of Interest requiring further surveillance (by them/others) and/or more formal/official questioning (by others in order to establish potential deception, malintent, etc).
