Toward Critical Multimodality: Exploring Theory, Research, and Practice in Transformative Educational Spaces

Fri, April 22, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 2nd Level, Seaport Tower, Seaport Ballroom C

Session Type: Workshop

Abstract

The purpose of this workshop is to demonstrate integration of diverse theories, research methods, and educational implications with critical multimodality and social semiotics (CMSS). Our goal is to reframe how these theories work together to support de-centering “dominant” (i.e., white, patriarchal, ableist, heteronormative, etc.) ideas of power and what counts as purposeful meaning making among scholars from diverse perspectives and educational contexts. Our workshop will feature breakout groups discussing scholars’ theorizing and research using CMSS relating to: 1) protest; 2) digital storytelling; 3) time, place, and space; and 4) built learning environments. Breakout groups seek to interactively answer: “What can educational researchers learn from the theoretical application of CMSS through the work of scholars across different orientations, institutions, and contexts?”
