Disrupting Top-Down Curricular Hierarchies Through Fandom and Media Engagement

Fri, April 25, 8:00 to 9:30am MDT (8:00 to 9:30am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 705

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium will explore disruptive ways of conceptualizing classroom routines, pedagogies, and curricula through paradigms of fandom and media engagement. Our presentations will address the questions: How are communities formed around fandoms and media changing our designs for formal learning? What does it look like when formal learning contexts intentionally disrupt top-down curricular hierarchies? What does current research show us about these student-centric models of learning that are derived from fandom and media engagement? What tensions emerge and how do we navigate them?
