Structuring Learning Environments
This workshop explores social processes that structure learning environments. On the first day (May 6) we will focus on the core socialization context within educational institutions: classrooms. There we identify and discuss how setting characteristics, compositions, and interactional resources are all employed to build up and break down social order in a dynamic, micro-political fashion. On the second day (May 7) we shift our focus to higher educational settings. There we study and discuss how educational institutions attempt to forge interdisciplinary collaborations and knowledge – or a stylized structuring of learning.

Assignments:
This is a short workshop that relies on student discussion. To encourage this, each night I would like all participating students to send me an email with a question about the course or a required reading of the day (mcfarland@stanford.edu). The questions are not graded, but I will review them before class and try to discuss them.
1. May 6 (before 6 AM), send me a question about any required reading concerning classroom interaction.
2. May 7 (before 6 AM), send me a question about any required reading concerning interdisciplinarity in academe.
