'I'm not going to tell you cos you need to think about this': A conversation analysis study of managing advice resistance and supporting autonomy in undergraduate supervision
This is an accepted manuscript of an article published by Springer in Postdigital Science and Education, available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s42438-020-00194-5
The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published version.This article firstly, critically analyses a face-to-face supervision meeting between an
undergraduate and a supervisor, exploring how the supervisor handles the twin strategies of
fostering autonomy while managing resistance to advice. Conversation Analysis is used as
both a theory and a method, with a focus on the use of accounts to support or resist advice.
The main contribution is the demonstration of how both the supervisor and student are jointly
responsible for the negotiation of advice, which is recycled and calibrated in response to the
student’s resistance. The supervisor defuses complaints by normalising them, and moving his
student on to practical solutions, often with humour. He lists his student’s achievements as
the foundation on which she can assert agency and build the actions he recommends.
Supervisor-student relationships are investigated through the lens of the affective dimensions
of learning, to explore how caring or empathy may serve to reduce resistance and make
advice more palatable. By juxtaposing physically present supervision with digitally-mediated
encounters, while acknowledging their mutual entanglement, the postdigital debate is
furthered. In the context of Covid-19, and rapid decisions by universities to bring in digital
platforms to capture student-teacher interactions, the analysis presented is in itself an act of
resistance against the technical control systems of the academy and algorithmic capitalism

Dental anomalies in first-degree relatives of transposed canine probands
The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the inheritance pattern and prevalence of inheritable dental anomalies in a sample of patients with maxillary canine—first premolar transposition and their first-degree relatives with a sample of palatally displaced canine families. Thirty-five consecutive maxillary canine—first premolar transposition probands and 111 first-degree relatives were matched to 35 consecutive palatally displaced canine probands and 115 first-degree relatives. These were assessed for palatally displaced canines and incisor-premolar hypodontia. Parental age at birth of the proband was also noted. The results revealed that (i) there is no difference in the overall prevalence of palatally displaced canine or incisor-premolar hypodontia between the groups of relatives; (ii) first-degree relatives of bilateral palatally displaced canine probands have a higher prevalence of palatally displaced canine and incisor-premolar hypodontia than those with unilateral palatally displaced canine; and (iii) maternal age at birth of the maxillary canine—first premolar transposition probands was significantly higher than that of the palatally displaced canine probands. The results suggest that maxillary canine—first premolar transposition and palatally displaced canine are unlikely to be different genetic entities and also indicate environmental or epigenetic influences on dental development
