Graduate Symposium on Re-Signifying Curriculum Studies from Indigeneity in the Mexican and Kenyan Contexts

Posted on October 10, 2017 by | Leave a comment

Maria Jose Athie-Martinez & Philip Kimani Karangu organized a thoughtful, engaging, symposium last week on “Indigeneity in the Mexican and Kenyan Contexts.” The symposium provided an overview of the students’ MA theses and hosted Dr. Samson Nashon as a discussant on the Dadaab refugee camp teacher education programs. I appreciate Maria Jose and Philip’s lead here and the outstanding analysis of issues. As well, thanks so much everyone for engaging with the presenters and readings.

Graduate symposium on Exploring curriculum-as-plan and curriculum-as-lived

Posted on November 5, 2016 by | Leave a comment

Alexis Gonzalez, Gerald Tembrevilla, Tsubasa Saito, and Elise (Ling-Hui) Chu organized an exciting, engaging symposium last week on “Exploring Curriculum-as-plan and Curriculum-as-lived in Science and Math Education.” The balance of theory and practice had us thinking and acting throughout out. I also really liked the balance of epistemologies and philosophies, including a very attentive engagement with the work of Ted Aoki.

As well, I would like to extend a heartfelt acknowledgement and appreciation for Prof. Keith Taber, who skyped in and talked with us from Cambridge, and to Prof. Anne Phelan, who interacted with us for the entire symposium and walked us through a really interesting essay by Aoki. Thank you!

Graduate symposium on ethics in education

Posted on October 19, 2016 by | Leave a comment

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!
