Learning From Learners: Power, Resistance, and Learners' Voices in an Era of Uncertainty

Fri, April 17, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In a context in which the future is increasingly uncertain, given the increasing threat of ecological and socio-political crisis, our roles as educators and researchers need to be re-assessed. This symposium brings together researchers inspired by the concept of voice in exploring the re-generation of cultural-historical activity theory. Building on brief presentations of five studies, we (both panelists and attendees) explore the transformative power of learners’ voices in both formal and informal learning contexts, including climate change and activism in Guatemala and Scandinavia, digital and artistic expression in the US and Palestine, and teacher-student relations in the UK. The session embodies innovative strategies for engaging both presenters’ and audience’s voices.
