NAEA 2018
NAEA 2018 on the West coast was a whirlwind! I was happy to present on two experiences that stemmed from teaching preservice students, discussing the Art for Life curriculum and the use of video in a class on critical analysis.
Art and Education for Social Justice Symposium 2018
I recently served as chair and program coordinator for the 2018 Art and Education for Social Justice Symposium, co-hosted by the Florida State University’s Department of Art Education and College of Fine Arts, the University of Georgia’s Lamar Dodd School of Art and Center for Human Rights and Social Justice – School of Social Work. We hosted 37 presentations drawing from all regions of the US!
Art Education Research Institute – 2017 Symposium
At AERI this year, I presented a paper titled, Mapping Desire Paths: Imagining Teaching and Learning Potentialities in Preservice Education. It is only the second symposium hosted by the Art Education Research Institute, and already I cannot imagine our field without it. It is a luxury sharing a space for generative, thoughtful conversations among colleagues.
ICQI 2017: A relational space
Reflections on the ongoing experience of attending the International Conference of Qualitative Inquiry.
NAEA 2017 was full of collaborations
I had four presentations at NAEA this year, which took place March 2-4 in New York City. Each presentation was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with students, friends and colleagues.
Keynote presentation. 5th International Symposium on Education and Visuality
I recently gave the keynote address in the bi-annual symposium hosted by the research group Grupo de pesquisa a Cultura Visual e Educaçao. This year the symposium was held in Montevideo, Uruguay, and explored the topic: Educational Research in Hyper-Visual Contexts.
Learning in the eventful space: Nomadic pedagogies and other mobilities
This week at AERA I presented in Theorizing Space and Place, a paper session organized within the division for Curriculum Studies (Div B).
All four papers in the session looked critically at space as productive of knowledge, a more-than-physical construct that has ideological and discursive implications.
Revisiting data: negative space and the palimpsest
This week at the Art Education Research Institute‘s first annual symposium I presented a paper where I revisited some of the data from my dissertation. Rather than analyze how the young people represented the results of our collaborative project, I attempt to look at the negative spaces surrounding this material and question the work of representation in educational research. Later I explored the palimpsest as a strategy to keep meaning-making in play.
ECER 2015
European Conference on Educational Research, 2015
Last week I attended ECER with the Esbrina research group (University of Barcelona). While there I presented some of the results of my dissertation in the Ethnography network, focusing on the use of the mobilities paradigm as an analytical framework for youth learning practices. This analysis will be published in an upcoming issue of International Journal of Extended Education, most likely by the end of the year.
AERA 2015
American Educational Researcher Association — Annual Meeting, 2015
Today I presented my dissertation at AERA, in a session titled Methods Explosion! Showcasing Innovation, within Division B – Curriculum Studies – Section 3: Challenging Methodological and Representational Boundaries.
