Graduate symposium on ethics in education

Bruce Moghtader, Phuong Huynh, Kshamta Hunter and  Lesley Liu organized an excellent, engaging symposium on Ethics and Education last week. I really liked the scope of the engagement, from ancient history and theory, Buddhist, Confucian, Greek & Taoist, to experimental pedagogy to ethnographic reports of affinity space designs for youth peer relations.

I am grateful for the insightful participation of the 601 PhD students! Special thanks to Professor Samson Nashon for helping us work through ethical questions and dilemmas related to research!

Graduate symposium on Queer Theory in Education

Hector Gomez, Joanne Ursino, Kevin Day, Nicole Lee, and Xinyan Fan designed, hosted, and presented a superb symposium on Queer Theory in Education this week. In all dimensions, from queering the Scarfe 310 space to the exhibition of artifacts and texts to reflective analyses to an extreme engaging dialogue with Professor Pinar and all the participants the symposium was superb.

I am grateful for the insightful participation of the 601 PhD students and visitors, including the 601 students from 2015! Special thanks to Professor William F. Pinar for helping us work through analytical questions of LGBTQ and queer history and theory, and for the generous interaction for the entire symposium!
