AERA 2023 paper & symposium

AERA 2023 in Chicago is wrapping up today. I am part of 2 symposia. I am the discussant for the symposium Illuminating Sociality and Learning in Diverse Educational Environments by Interrogating Movement, Touch, and Affect, organized by Sarah Jean Johnson (UTEP) and Ananda M. Marin (UCLA). I am second author on Jackie Ridley’s (Kent State) paper “¡Mira, the coche has wheels!” Supporting young children and families’ translanguaging through informal science’. The paper is part of a symposium organized by Jackie and Lindsey Rowe (Clemson U), In Supporting Children and Families in Early Childhood Education Contexts Through Translingual Practices and Pedagogies.

Lisa Green talk at U Houston

This Friday, Professor Lisa Green will give a talk at the University of Houston, ‘From African American English to African American Language: Over 50 years of Research’. I will be attending the event as part of a visit to U Houston. Dr. Monique Mills and I will have some quality f2f time to work on our research together, and I will meet with some of her colleagues and collaborators at the university and the Children’s Museum Houston (a partner on the Expanding Repertoires project). Pictured here are Monique Mills, Sharon Hill, Lisa Green, and me.
