Leveraging Cultural Historical Activity Theory in Higher Education to Re-Mediate the University

Wed, April 23, 12:40 to 2:10pm MDT (12:40 to 2:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3C

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

As higher education researchers and practitioners work toward a just academy, having expansive, ecological, and historicizing tools is necessary to understand and design attempts at transforming the academy. This symposium explores the transformative potential of Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) to facilitate equity-oriented change in postsecondary learning environments. By curating a series of papers that utilize CHAT across a range of contexts (e.g., undergraduate teaching and learning, graduate education, university-district partnerships, and co-curricular spaces), this session aims to broaden understanding of CHAT as an analytical tool that can be leveraged to design new possible futures in higher education.
