#1225: Reflexivity as Collaborative Poetic Process

Grounding in learning sciences scholarship on the embodied, affective, and relational nature of learning, we invite conference attendees to explore their own learning in and through their research through the co-creation of a collaborative poetic reflexivity installation. To begin, the installation will include a collection of poems written by members of our research team and others (with their permission) in response to prompts including: What does your/our research mean to you? What feelings, images, memories call you to your work? What in your work are you grappling with? We offer poetic processes of personal and collaborative inquiry as cognitive–affective tools for reflexive transformations that can strengthen our connections to our own complex humanity, to our research partners and their complex humanity, and to our aspirations for ourselves, our work, and our worlds.
