Subject: [Xmca-l] Re-generating CHAT: Interesting symposium on July 2, at 5 pm Central European Summer Time

Dear Xmca-folks

As many of you know there has been an important initiative https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://re-generatingchat.com/__;!!Mih3wA!QHw0SEc5JR3oraNBbPx3our4JBdfHj5oacepvZe3YhtALRBJjUOAV8OxkvxiODF9h_L7bw$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/cyJTCWnBo2fjqj3Ku6TlOd?domain=urldefense.com__;!!Mih3wA!QHw0SEc5JR3oraNBbPx3our4JBdfHj5oacepvZe3YhtALRBJjUOAV8OxkvxiODFz5aXdrg$ > to critically revise and invigorate cultural historical theory, sponsored among others by the Mind Culture and Activity journal.

One outcome of this project is an online invited symposium to be held as part of European Association of Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) SIG conference on July 1-3, 2020. There is still room in the conference and there is no fee for participation. There is also other interesting program in the conference, see https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://earli.org/SIG10-21-25__;!!Mih3wA!QHw0SEc5JR3oraNBbPx3our4JBdfHj5oacepvZe3YhtALRBJjUOAV8OxkvxiODG9CCzfpA$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/iIg8CX6Vp3CnKnARtVGmOh?domain=urldefense.com__;!!Mih3wA!QHw0SEc5JR3oraNBbPx3our4JBdfHj5oacepvZe3YhtALRBJjUOAV8OxkvxiODF5CLdmzQ$ >

The Re-gen symposium is titled Learning from Learners: Power, Resistance and  Learners' Voices in an Era of Uncertainty. See the info below. (The symposium was originally accepted in the Cultural-historical SIG of AERA 2020 conference)

Please note that the deadline for registrations is already on June 15th. If interested, you can register here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://earli.org/SIG10-21-25*practical-info__;Iw!!Mih3wA!QHw0SEc5JR3oraNBbPx3our4JBdfHj5oacepvZe3YhtALRBJjUOAV8OxkvxiODHxgPZuYg$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/6fweCY6Xq4C3l3Yqt95J0T?domain=urldefense.com__;!!Mih3wA!QHw0SEc5JR3oraNBbPx3our4JBdfHj5oacepvZe3YhtALRBJjUOAV8OxkvxiODEFuYXMxw$ >

Abstract

This symposium engages panelists and participants in the exploration and re-conceptualization of “learners’ voices” from a cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) perspective that approaches education as a struggle to overcome dominant paradigms that thwart learners’ development and agency in the face of an uncertain future. As part of a larger effort to re-generate CHAT, this symposium will articulate and elaborate the concept of "learners’ voices" as a tool for guiding students, teachers, researchers, activists, and policy-makers in re-orienting pedagogy to cultivate their critical voices, empowering learners to become agentive sociopolitical actors in charge of their own futures-in-the-making. The concept of voice has been used in educational research, design and practice for calling out and naming the hidden power relations in systems of oppression and plays a role in learner-centered approaches (Corbett & Wilson, 1995) culturally-relevant pedagogies (Ladson-Billings 1994; Lee, 2006), hybrid language education (Gutiérrez, 1999), and critical race theories and pedagogies (Mensah, 2019).

Panelists reconceptualize voice as “learners’ voices” broadly to convey agentive engagement in meaning making in the face of unequal power relations. While the panelists work in different social contexts (see presentation abstracts) all employ the concept of “learners’ voices” and explore ways of encouraging multivoicedness, speaking truth to power, and recognizing learners’ voices as an educational necessity in an uncertain global context. The structure of the symposium encourages dialogue designed to promote the collective co-construction and development of the concept of "learners’ voices" as a critical tool for expanding our understanding of teaching and learning.
