• CI 590: Metaphors, Models, and Analogies and the Development of Understandings

  Jul 18, 2016 3:45 pm7 views

  CI 590 MMA, Fall 2016
  Professor: David Brown
  When: Wednesdays, 5:00 to 7:50 pm
  Where: 4F Education Building
  CRN: 66094

  Traditional views of metaphor and analogy see them simply as linguistic figures of speech, such as “He was a wolf” or “The car was like a battering ram,” used to spice up otherwise literal discourse.  More recent views see metaphorical and analogical thought as central in both discourse and cognition.  Constructivism is currently the dominant paradigm on learning in the content areas, drawing on the idea that students construct new understandings based on existing understandings. If this is the case, then a primary engine of such construction must be analogical and metaphorical reasoning – drawing on existing understandings of ideas and extending those to other ideas perceived as similar. This course will explore recent perspectives on metaphorical, model-based, and analogical thought and discourse, how these views apply to the development of understandings in content areas, and how instruction can take advantage of these new perspectives to better help students develop understandings of new ideas.

• SPRING, 2017 EPS 590/MEDIA 570 Pro-seminar in Postcolonial Theory and Methodology

  Nov 29, 2016 11:00 am7 views

  Within the past decade and a half or so, there has been a steady expansion of scholarship calling attention to the rethinking of center-periphery relations between the third world and the first world. This body of scholarship—most often identified with literature studies, but which has expanded well beyond to other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences—has come to be known as postcolonial theory. Proponents of postcolonial theory have sought to address a wide range of topics related to the historical and contemporary relationship between metropolitan and periphery countries as well as the spatio-temporal impact of colonial and neo-colonial relations on dominant and subordinated groups in the metropolitan countries themselves. These topics include the historical and geographical evolution of colonial relations and post-independence developments in countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean; patterns of identity formation, cultural representation, translation and cross-cultural connection between the metropole and the periphery in disciplinary areas such as literature, popular culture, music and art; and, concerns bearing upon the redefinition of the nation state in the light of globalization or the intensification and rapid movement of cultural and economic capital across national borders. Postcolonial scholars have also foraged into the area of research methods insisting on a critique of methodological nationalism, the foregrounding of interdisciplinarity and the critical integration of scholarly methods across social science and humanities paradigms.

  This course is intended as an overview of the major currents of thought in this emergent body of scholarly work.  After considering some preliminary issues of the history, definition and terms of reference of postcolonial theory, we will explore the major themes and substantive theoretical and methodological claims and interventions of postcolonial theorists.  This course should have broad appeal to students pursuing critical studies in the humanities, social sciences, education, the communications fields and in the emerging field of globalization theory.  Every effort will be made in the course to explore interdisciplinary connections between postcolonial theory and other related bodies of thought such as cultural studies, postmodernism, globalization studies, feminist theory, and research in the areas of development and dependency theory and modernization studies.

   Movie and Chai Series: "Court" (2015)

   COURT (2015)

  5 PM, SATURDAY, APRIL 23

  ROOM 103, TRANSPORTATION BUILDING, 104, URBANA, IL

  *FREE ADMISSION*

  Court is an Indian courtroom drama film, written and directed by Chaitanya Tamhane. The film examines the Indian legal system through the trial of an aging folk singer at a Sessions Court in Mumbai that relies on a pedantic and often moronically literal interpretation of the law, making a mockery of his free speech rights.

  In light of the recent events and debate in India regarding free speech, this movie exposes the flaws in a legal system that can be unwittingly used, in a deliberate attempt by the state to target its citizens.

  This movie has won numerous awards at international film festival, most notably, Best Film Award and the Lion of the Future Award for the best debut film at the 71st Venice International Film Festival.

  This movie is in Marathi with English subtitles.

  Indian style Masala Tea will be served to all.

  Uses and Abuses of Educational Research

  W 4-6:50 • 389 Education

  Professor Chris Higgins (crh4@illinois.edu)

   

  All graduate students in education (if not all citizens) need to be able to engage intelligently with the full spectrum of educational research and with the policies said to be backed by research. This course aims at comprehensive and critical research literacy through discussion of the philosophy of inquiry, the sociology of knowledge, the history of educational research, and the politics of data. It seeks to correct the mystification that there is a recipe for research (question + lit review + method + limitations + theoretical framework + data = new knowledge), reopening some of the thorny questions around writing and interpretation, history and language, power and politics, knowledge and ignorance. It features a comparative case study of public education as refracted by four approaches: historical, philosophical, quantitative, and qualitative.

Youth expressed clear ideas about what types of changes are needed to promote democracy in their environment and how they see themselves becoming active to make a difference in the communities in which they belong.
