Co-Integrate Speaker Series: Higinio Dominguez
April 19, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
Please join Kristen Bieda as she hosts Dr. Higinio Dominguez, Associate Professor in the Department of Teacher Education at Michigan State University on Monday, April 19, from noon – 1pm on Zoom. Dr. Dominguez will give a presentation titled ‘The desire to do research: Where does it come from?” and offered this description of his talk:
“In this presentation, I will invite participants to follow me as I narrate in words and images my transition from colonial, imperialist research practices to creating knowledge with knowers. As part of this transition—which I see as continuous and liberating—I will discuss multiple powerful forces that have contributed to reinvigorate my eyes, ears, and all my senses, leading me to find my desire to do research in mathematics education desde adentro; that is, from inside the practices and wisdoms that I am trying to make sense. Two research projects, one recently completed and one that starts this Fall, will serve as important referents for gauging the intensities of my desire to do research. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring to this informal conversation insights, experiences, questions, wonderings, and contributions related to their desire to conduct research in education.”
*Higinio Dominguez is an associate professor in the Department of Teacher Education at Michigan State University. In his research, Higinio conceptualizes the mathematics classroom as a vibrant ecology in which life-giving forces meet and diffract. His methodological and analytic approaches focus on following the new patterns and ways of knowing that emerge from these beautiful diffractions.
