What can discursive psychology do for research in mathematics education?

Tuesday 5th December 2005
5.30 - 7.00 pm


Discursive psychology has emerged as an anti-cognitivist, anti-realist 
perspective on cognition. This approach includes both a theorisation of 
the role of discursive practice in thinking, and a methodological 
approach to researching psychological problems. Discursive psychology 
has informed much of my research into the role of multilingualism in 
the teaching and learning of mathematics. In this seminar, I reflect on 
what the adoption of this perspective has allowed me to see, as well as 
what it may have obscured. These reflections will be illustrated by 
examples from my own work, as well as examples from other published 
research. I will conclude by considering what discursive psychology 
could offer research in mathematics education more generally.

Venue:
