Venue: Scarfe Room 1214

Title: Nonviolent Engagements with Difference: Transforming Relational Dynamics in Education
Speaker: Professor Hongyu Wang, Oklahoma State University
Based upon a life history, qualitative study of Chinese professors’ and American professors’ mutual engagement with the counterpart thought, culture, and education, this presentation discusses the central thread of nonviolence and portrays important elements of nonviolent engagements with difference, including organic relationality, non-instrumental engagement, serendipitous play, spiritual openness, and de/education.
Light lunch served at noon. The Lecture commences at 12:30 pm. There is no need to RSVP.
Following the event, there will be an opportunity for graduate students to engage Dr. Wang in conversation. As the second talk of EDCP seminar series of 2013-2014, Professor Hongyu Wang from Oklahoma State University is giving a talk and having a conversation with graduate students after the talk. The talk is titled “Epistemological Pluralism in Higher Education: Ethical and Epistemological Challenges.” The conversation will be “informal.” Any question will provoke the conversation that all of ours constitute.
As many of you already know Hongyu Wang through her writings, the contribution of her works has gained enormous resonance, recognition, and acknowledgement. Her well-known book is The Call from the Stranger on a Journey home: Curriculum in a Third Space (2004), and she recently edited with Claudia Eppert Cross-cultural studies in Curriculum: Eastern thought, Educational Insights (2010).
