Designing for Dignity Affirming Experiences: Leveraging Embodied Learning Toward Equity in Interaction

Thu, April 21, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Tower, Ground Level, Pacific Ballroom 18

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The goal of this structured poster session is to discuss how researchers designing learning environments that foreground embodied forms of participation can (1) contribute to dignity affirming experiences (Keifert et al., 2021; Espinoza et al., 2020) for learners and (2) help advance theories about equity and learning. Drawing on research that theorizes how learning develops in interaction, this session addresses how embodiment can broaden participation structures, redefine narrow conceptualizations of epistemic resources, and leverage students’ lived experiences towards disciplinary sensemaking. The authors in this structured poster session address the question: How does intentionally designing for equitable participation and transformation at the learning environment level expand dignity-affirming experiences of embodied learning?
