CPED November Wednesday Webinar

Scaffolding the Language of Power: Supporting Doctoral-Level Writing in EdD Programs

Date: Wednesday, November 13, 2024

Time: 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET 

This webinar introduces an approach to supporting doctoral-level writing drawing from critical, sociocultural and systemic functional linguistic perspectives. Three main insights are offered, with examples and activities to illustrate: 1) doctoral-level writing is the language of power in academia; 2) it operates via particular rules and purposes which can be taught to students in supportive ways; and 3) students can also support their readers by deliberately scaffolding for them in their writing.

Presenter:

Kathryn Strom 

Kathryn (Katie) Strom is an Associate Professor of Educational Leadership at California State University, East Bay, Director of CSUEB’s Center for Research on Equity and Collaborative Engagement (CRECE), and co-founder of the Posthuman Research Nexus (a global organization that supports and connects scholars engaging in posthuman and other complexity perspectives). Dr. Strom’s research combines multiple critical and complex theories to study teacher learning and practice (particularly in support of minoritized youth in STEM settings), as well as to advocate more broadly for more relational, difference-affirmative ways of thinking-being-doing in education and academia. Dr. Strom has published widely, including her most recent book, Scaffolding the Language of Power: An Apprenticeship in Writing at the Doctoral Level. She is also the co-author of Becoming-Teacher: A Rhizomatic Look at First Year Teaching and Decentering the Researcher in Intimate Scholarship: Critical Posthuman Methodological Perspectives, along with many peer-reviewed articles and several special issues. Her most current work is in partnership with the Smithsonian Institute’s Network for Emergent Socioscientific Thinking (NESST), exploring ways to support educators and their students in shifting to the complex ways of thinking needed to create sustainable futures in the Anthropocene era.
