General Event

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Research in Curriculum as a Social Practice is pleased to invite you to an upcoming guest lecture:

Poetic elicitation: Translanguaging, affect, and the arts for pedagogy and research

This session invites you to consider the ways in which translanguaging and the arts can be combined as creative and powerful tools for teaching and research. Translanguaging is understood as the dynamic way bilingual and multilingual speakers deploy their linguistic resources to make sense of and interact with the world around them (Li, 2018), but it is so much more! In this hands-on scholarly discussion, we will explore the interdisciplinarity of translanguaging (specifically its affective and trans-semiotic dimensions), experiment with translanguaging and poetry, and discuss the potentials of poetic elicitation using translanguaging and poetic forms in classroom and research settings.

Guest Speaker:

Dr. Julianne Burgess is a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow and Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Education at Western University. Her research interests include translanguaging through sociomateriality and the arts; literacy and early learning, creative and decolonizing pedagogies and methodologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Before pursuing her PhD, she taught English to adult newcomers for 25 years.

When: Thursday, October 2, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
