Judith Green, a Distinguished Professor Emeritus in UC Santa Barbara’s Department of Education, will present the live stream seminar “Interactional Ethnography as a logic-of-inquiry: Tracing the levels of analytic scale to understand what is being dialogically and socially constructed with students” on Friday, May 29 at 6 pm PST. The presentation is presented by AERA’s Semiotics in Education: Signs, Meanings, and Multimodality Special Interest Group and will be hosted by Dr. Angel Lin and research students at Simon Fraser University, the University of Hong Kong, and Education University of Hong Kong.
To join online real-time or to view anytime afterwards, please go to the video/event on Youtube.
Dr. Green’s teaching and research focus on teaching-learning relationships, disciplinary knowledge as socially constructed, and ethnographic research and discourse studies of the patterns of everyday life in classroom. Questions that she explores in her research and in her classes include: How do children gain access to school knowledge? What counts as literacy and learning in school settings? How is disciplinary knowledge socially constructed? What opportunities for learning are constructed in classrooms, and who has access to these opportunities? How does the theory you select shape your research questions, the methods you use, and the claims that you can make about a phenomenon?
The ‘Translanguaging & Trans-Semiotizing Research Group’ Channel aims at building a Community of Practice (CoP) of both emergent and experienced scholars for academic exchange on Translanguaging and Trans-semiotising research and pedagogies. It serves as a bridge between theory and practice, an interactive platform for intellectual dialogues across different generations and diverse contexts, and an innovative Public Pedagogy forum for 21st Century students, teachers and researchers.
