Profile: Ray Wilkinson is Professor of Human Communication in the Department of Human Communication Sciences at the University of ��«Ӱҵ. Previously he worked at University College London and the University of Manchester, and as a speech and language therapist in the NHS. He was an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Research Fellow between 2008 and 2011, and a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2004 and 2011.

Research interests

Ray Wilkinson’s research focuses on human communication within everyday social interaction, and in particular how participants manage communication when one or more of them do not have the full set of linguistic or cognitive resources available to a neurotypical adult native language speaker. Much of his work investigates the nature of atypical interaction, in particular social interactions involving people with acquired brain damage such as aphasia and the communicative impairments secondary to dementia or traumatic brain injury.

He has also published on the development of interactional competence in normally-developing children, and on the communicative conduct of non-human primates. He is a co-author of SPPARC (Supporting Partners of People with Aphasia in Relationships and Conversation), a clinical assessment and intervention resource for speech and language therapists, and has published a number of papers on how interaction-focused intervention can improve everyday communication for people with aphasia and their significant others.
