> Abstract
>
> Employing a sociocultural approach, this symposium analyzes
> teaching/learning encounters with the linguistic anthropological notion of
>  stance . The five papers in this symposium show the crucial role that
>  stance  plays in the work of learning as it occurs in five very different
> teaching/learning encounters, including: a kindergarten classroom, a high
> school test-prep tutoring session, a college engineering class, an
> upper-primary literacy lesson, and a tele-mentored physics lesson of a high
> schooler. These papers additionally demonstrate that  stance  is a useful
> analytic for educational researchers because it provides a relational,
> social, and emergent perspective on what have traditionally been seen as
> static, individual, and reified phenomena such as psychological states and
> traits, and because it provides novel insights into how learning happens.

> Abstract
>
> What is the role of voice and agency in work with youth? How can
> collaborative and participatory methods more effectively address issues of
> inequality in youth experiences? In this interactive session we present
> four projects with after-school programs that engage these questions to
> argue that youth-centered methods and a critical inquiry of youth  voice
> offer important lenses for understanding a range of inequalities that exist
> in the lives of youth and that out-of-school spaces offer a unique setting
> for studying these topics. Recognizing that poverty stems primarily from
> imbalances of power, we suggest that voice and participation are valuable
> tools for addressing such imbalances and invite the audience to engage in a
> dialogue around the challenges inherent in such work.
