Vanderbilt University, Wachtmeister Family Professor of Education, Emeritus\n<\/em><\/p>\n
Rogers Hall is the Wachtmeister Family Professor of Education and Learning Sciences, Emeritus at Vanderbilt University. He studies learning and conceptual practices in STEM disciplines, using interaction and comparative analysis of persons engaged in community practices. Some studies are of doing and learning in intact activity systems. In related studies, Rogers designs experimental learning environments for new modes of engagement in conceptual practices. While co-directing the Space, Learning and Mobility (SLaM) Lab, Rogers has contributed to design studies of learning:<\/p>\n
- \n
- in ensemble and embodied activity (e.g., \u201cwalking scale geometry\u201d and dance choreography for mathematics learning),<\/li>\n
- when mobility is both the means and content of what is learned (e.g., youth mobility and counter mapping, shaping engagement during family museum visits),<\/li>\n
- by making and following \u201cstory lines\u201d that share public history as walking experiences (e.g., digital spatial storytelling in classrooms and a community museum),<\/li>\n
- by reflecting on relations between personal geography and thematic maps that model society and history (e.g., telling stories with open, large-scale data and mapping self in society), and
\nthrough hearing and listening in popular culture (e.g., close listening and soundscaping).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nRogers holds a Ph.D. in computer science from UC Irvine (1990) and taught at UC Berkeley before joining the Vanderbilt faculty. He is a fellow of the American Educational Research Association and of the International Society of the Learning Sciences. He was a residential fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences (Stanford University, 2007-2008), the UC Humanities Research Institute (2001), and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (1999). He was also a NAE\/Spencer Foundation and McDonnell Foundation postdoctoral fellow (1996-1997). Rogers is a dedicated swimmer and makes things in his garage (What’s he building in there?).<\/p>\n

University of North Texas, Assistant Professor<\/em><\/p>\nI am a learning nerd. I love studying learning and my own learning that accompanies that work. I study learning both in and out of school, with a focus on young children’s brilliance, inquiry, and connections to science. IA is my central method, but you’ll find me pulling on Goodwinian Co-Operative Action to extend my scales (e.g., analytical unit grain size, time) to examine power, social structures, and cultural practice in interaction. You can find more official (and lengthy) bios on my UNT faculty page<\/a> and personal webpage<\/a>. I am the human to Aurelia Grace (Gracie, rescue pup), appropriately named after Caesar’s mother given her intelligence and fierce loyalty (I said I was a nerd). I am a new ambulatory wheelchair user and trying to find my way in the disabled community after having lived an (unacknowledged) disabled lifetime already. All of this brings me joy and I am so grateful for the opportunities of shared sensemaking in VIAL for myself and my UNT graduate students.<\/p>\n

Brigham Young University, Associate Professor of Spanish Pedagogy<\/em><\/p>\nMy work explores the potential of creativity, 21st century literacies, design-based pedagogies for inspiring change in world language education. I am especially interested in understanding factors that support learning in immersive environments such as Dual Language Immersion (DLI), Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL), and Playable Case Study simulations (PCS). Interaction analysis has offered me a rigorous and satisfying process for unearthing embodied and relational elements that are essential to understanding teaching and learning within these immersive contexts. When I am not buried in multiple layers of data, I can be found birdwatching, cooking, or West Coast Swing dancing.<\/p>\n
