Exploring Students’ Sociocultural and Sociopolitical Practices and Identities Through Multimodality and Embodiment
Sun, April 14, 9:35 to 11:05am, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Room 403Session Type: Paper Session
Abstract
Featuring students between the ages of early childhood and adolescence, this group of studies employ multimodality and embodiment frameworks to investigate students’ linguistic, cultural, racial, ecological, and political practices and developing identities through. Studies are informed by post-structural, multimodal, and critical multimodal literacy theories as well as language socialization and gesture scholarship. The papers in this session will discuss (a) children’s gestural practices during peer disputes, (b) K-3 students’ multimodal composing, (c) the affordances of an art therapy and writing program for adolescent identity exploration, (d) digital multimodal projects to query inequitable access to green spaces, and (e) a primary notational system of movement representation.
