 INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH STUDY

Dear Colleague,
I am seeking graduate students, library staff and faculty over the age of 18 at Canadian Institutions to participate in a survey regarding the adoption of reference management (RM) software (e.g., EndNote, Mendeley, RefWorks, Zotero). The survey is open to both users and non-users of reference management software. The purpose of this survey is to explore the relationship between technology adopter characteristics and learning taxonomies for software use. By participating in this study you will be contributing to an improved understanding of how academia uses technology and the implications for the learning process.

This study is being conducted as part of a Doctorate of Business Administration dissertation research. The title of the proposed dissertation is “Connecting Dots: Using Learning Taxonomy to Enhance Understanding of Innovation Adoption” and the academic supervisor is Dr. Mihail Cocosila, Associate Professor at Athabasca University ([log in to unmask]). The dissertation will be listed in an abstract posted online at the Athabasca University Library's Digital Thesis and Project Room and the final research report will be publicly available.

This study has been approved by the Athabasca University Research Ethics Board. Should you have any comments or concerns regarding this study, please contact the university's Office of Research Ethics at 780-675-6718 or by e-mail to [log in to unmask].

[1] Proposal - Anthology -  Transcultural Flows in English Language Education in Asia - Deadline March 1, 2015

Please consider submitting a chapter proposal for our edited book, Transcultural Flows in English Language Education in Asia. If you are interested in submitting a chapter to this book, please submit a 500-word abstract that includes your research, methods, and theoretical framework and summarizes your main findings by March 1, 2015.

Also, please send the call for chapter submissions to colleagues and other
interested persons.

Call for Chapter Submissions: Transcultural Flows in English Language Education in Asia

In the current age of globalization, there are heightened demands for English throughout Asia, leading to transcultural flows that often dictate what happens in the classroom and in other related transcultural spaces. Pennycook (2007, p. 5) uses the term ‘transcultural flows’ to “locate the spread and use of English within critical theories of globalization.” He uses hip-hop as an example of how English language is moving across the world and being taken up, appropriated, and remade into new and hybrid forms that represent the local. Appadurai (1996) suggests that transcultural flows are a product of modernity and migration resulting in the need to reimagine and explore Diasporas within public spheres, while also being phenomena that impact groups, societies, and nations. Giddens
(2000) examines these spaces of transcultural flows and re-imagination which result in exploration and transformation of groups, societies, and nations. Jenkins (2004) suggests that transcultural flows of popular culture inspire new forms of global consciousness and cultural competency.

Tsing (2005) coined the term “friction” to discuss the relations that result when cultures come together. As a starting point, this book investigates the “collision” or “synthesis” that occurs between people when cultures are shared and reconstructed in different contexts and result in hybridity. By focusing on transcultural flows we can acknowledge the hybridity in educational concepts and practices that emerge as a result of relationships and processes that occur inside and outside of the classroom as people and their cultures come together.

Scholars have argued that English is a global language because of the power that English speaking countries hold in the world. As a result, the spread of English has been examined as a form of imperialism and hegemony (e.g., Phillipson 1992; Tollefson 1991). While recognizing the power of English globally, and the impact that English has upon people’s lives locally, we also seek to examine the effects, movements, and actions that result from these transcultural flows, while also aknowledging individual and collective agency that is possible through English language education. We seek to examine how English is appropriated and reshaped through language and culture exchanges inside and outside of the traditional concepts of the classroom. Inside the classroom transcultural flows have the potential to result in take-up, exchange, and appropriation of language and cultural practices that can mean transcultural realities in terms of hybrid pedagogical and curricular exchanges and pursuits for teachers and students as English is implemented in the midst of dominant language and culture communities. Transcultural realities in the classroomcan can be pedagogical and curricular culminations where the meeting of East and West occurs as teachers and students "meet in the middle" and experience an English education that impacts society.

On these terms, English learning and teaching has the potential to go beyond the classroom and affect the multicultural realities of Asian  societies. Asian societies often carry long histories and traditions that influence beliefs about identities which may be changing in our globalizing world. Understanding transcultural flows may also mean understanding what is happening outside of the classroom as transcultural exchanges lead to friendships and professional relationships, as companies embrace English and attempt to reach a global audience, as English is an access point for global interaction in cyberspace, and as the global politics of membership, recognition, and identity often confront the implications of English as a global language. On these terms, for both English teachers and students,
the impacts of transcultural connections reach far beyond the teaching and learning experience. In short, English connects people around the globe with the country or people even after they have finished their lessons or teachers have left the country.

To examine the transcultural flows that result from English learning and teaching in Asia, we need to ask some questions: What becomes of English when it is loosed from local, national, and regional spaces and re-realized through imagination? What are new forms of global consciousness and cultural competency? How is English as transcultural flows being rediscovered and reinvented in Asian countries where traditions dictate normative culture and change is resisted? How have English as transcultural flows affected concepts of authenticity, tradition, and the notion of ‘pure’ identities? To what degree are we being ‘globalized’? How are teachers and students taking-up and appropriating English inside and outside classrooms? How has learning English affected social, political and business relationships? What are the relations between language and cultural exchanges?

To explore these questions, we are seeking chapter contributors to our edited book, Transcultural Flows in English Language Education in Asia. If you are interested in submitting a chapter to this book, please submit a 500-word abstract that includes your research, methods, and theoretical framework and summarizes your main findings by March 1, 2015 to:

[1] Salon - Kim Fortun & Max Libroiron - Evidencing Disaster - Technoscience Salon  - Toronto - January 23, 2015

Please join us Friday for our next Technoscience Salon on

EVIDENCING DISASTER

This Salon explores disjunctures between official accounts and lived realities in the context of disaster. Our aim is to interrogate disaster in its multiple forms and mobilities. We explore how evidentiary regimes shape the ways a disaster is apprehended and how it is mitigated. We ask: How are evidence and expertise mobilized in and around disaster zones? How, in this process, is lived experience effaced, and rendered anecdotal or inadmissible? Who, then, can and cannot make claims about the impact, effects, and consequences of disaster? Where do official accounts and lived realities begin and end? Read more about our provocation here.

Presenters: Kim Fortun (STS, RPI) & Max Libroiron (Sociology, MemorialU)

Discussants: Michelle Murphy (History/Women and Gender Studies, UToronto) & Christianne Stephens(Anthropology, YorkU)

Theme: Applied Ethnography

Dr. Susan Hyatt: Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis

“We never met strangers—we met people”: Using Anthropology to Uncover Hidden Histories of Race and Religion in an Indianapolis Neighborhood In 2010, Applied Anthropology students from Indiana University in Indianapolis collected oral histories, photographs and other memorabilia from African-American and Jewish elders, who had all once lived in, and shared deep bonds in, what had once been one of the most multi-ethnic neighborhoods in the city. After being destroyed by urban development starting in the 1970s, these bonds were renewed as they recorded their memories with the students. Dr. Hyatt discusses shares some of these stories and the lessons learned from the project that brought them all back together nearly 50 years later.

3pm, AP246

Theme: Digital Ethnography

Nox Dineen-Porter, University of Toronto

The Mediated Fieldsite: Digital Research Methods The line between virtual and actual is increasingly permeable as people live more of their lives in mediated reality thanks to mobile and wearable technology, smart homes and the growth of the "Internet of Things". What does this mean for existing methodological approaches? What are some opportunities and challenges for new ones?
