Broadening the Boundaries of the Learning Sciences: Reclaiming the Territory of Latin American Contributions to Educational Research

This symposium reimagines the Learning Sciences through Latin American epistemologies, weaving studies of Mapuche weaving mathematics, Uruguayan rural futures, and WhatsApp organizing at the Mexico-US border. Empirical work across Colombia, Ecuador, and beyond puts constructionism, ethnomathematics, and decolonial speculation in dialogue with field theories.

Learning Sciences in the Global South: Dialogue for multiple ways of knowing and doing

This hybrid symposium argues for multiplicity in ways of knowing and doing, drawing on cases from Latin America, Africa, and South Asia where scholars adapt and expand conventional research. The stories foreground tensions and (in)visible privileges in Global South scholarship, with dialogue continuing during and after the conference.
