Session Submission Summary

Mapping Literacies, Seeking Mobilities: Social Transformations in Four Contexts

Thu, December 1, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 3, Mockingbird 4

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

For this symposium, four researchers use the lens of ‘mapping’ as a heuristic tool to analyze findings from their research. Maps serve as both a conceptual tool to excavate multiple sources of data and a figurative device to uncover themes that remain hidden from sight. Common strands within the symposium are research studies that examine how research participants design multimodal, embodied texts as agentive maps that reveal learning dispositions, motivations, and everyday practices.
