Michelle LaFrance (George Mason University)

LaFrance demonstrates methods in institutional ethnography with a view toward opening the possibilities for critical inquiry into austerity-era higher education. Participants will consider fundamental analytical frames that LaFrance employs in her method, including ruling relations, standpoint, social coordination, experience, work, institutional discourse, and texts/textual mediation.

RSVP to Erika Dwyer by Jan. 15 and include any accessibility accommodation requests.

LaFrance also presents a public lecture later in the afternoon.

This event is organized by the "LLC26 Composition, Labor, and Embodiment" working group of the CNY Humanities Corridor, from an award from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
