Space and Time

Since the beginning of my academic career, I have been inquiring into the meanings, productions, and implications of space and time (or space-time) in learning and identity. The work in this section takes up questions of how social spaces are comprised of bodies, interaction, and discourses; questions of space and time across embodied and online contexts; questions of research methodologies that expand beyond situation-as-container; and questions of the limitations of clock-time and measured space for interpreting activity.
