Navy blue flyer with white font showing the title, abstract, and participant list for a conference symposium. There is a decorative graphic of colorful intersecting organic circular shapes in top right. Title: Learning for Every Body: Intersectional Dimensions of Embodied Learning. Abstract: As embodiment research gains popularity within the learning sciences, this symposium both leverages and critiques embodiment perspectives as they reveal the learning of marginalized students. We highlight the manifold ways in which bodies that do not conform, subscribe, or satisfy the imagined, normative ‘ideal’ standard in educational settings—be they racialized, gendered, disabled, indigenous, multilingual, queer, and/or politicized—construct and are constructed within explicitly embodied learning settings. Co-chairs: Sofia Tancredi (UC Berkeley & SFSU) & Morgan Vickery (Indiana University. Discussant: Shirin Vossoughi (Northwestern University). 14 presenters also listed.
Excited to share I will be co-chairing a hybrid-format symposium on intersectional dimensions of embodied learning at #ISLS2024 this June. Hope to see you there, virtually or in-person!
