Studying Movement, Hybridity, and Change: Toward a Multi-sited Sensibility for Research on Learning Across Contexts and Borders by Shirin Vossoughi & Kris D. Gutiérrez - 2014This chapter brings together cultural-historical approaches to human development with interpretive and multi-sited ethnography in order to: (a) develop ethnographic tools that attend to the ways young people learn within and across multiple contexts; (b) draw from and contrast the methodological insights of single and multi-sited ethnography; and (c) glean principles that help constitute a “multi-sited sensibility” appropriate for taking a more expansive approach to learning that advances conceptions of learning as movement.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership.

SHIRIN VOSSOUGHI received her PhD in education from UCLA in 2011. She recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University and the San Francisco Exploratorium, where she led an ethnographic research project on the development of scientific dispositions through tinkering activities that blend STEM learning and the arts. She also taught a course on culture, learning, and poverty. More broadly, her work centers on the anthropology of learning, equity, and social change. As an educator and second-generation Iranian immigrant, she is also personally invested in developing humanizing and intellectually rich educational contexts for migrant, immigrant, and diasporic youth. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University.
