Session Submission Summary

Researching Meaning Making and Embodiment: Cases and Methods

Fri, December 2, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 3, Cumberland 5

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

In this alternative session, we collectively consider embodied aspects of meaning making across five distinct studies that each present cases of and/or methods for researching embodied literacies. The session both highlights and interrogates the human work of meaning making in which our bodies are “intervolved” (Dreyfus, 1991) with the material world (Streeck, Goodwin, & LeBaron, 2011). The session also attends to methods for researching embodiment and meaning making.
