I'm taking a discourse analysis class and just finished analyzing my first transcription. As I reflect on the conversation I recorded, I am reminded of the book The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig.
And it makes me ask...
Who decides who is seen and who is invisible?
Does one decide that it's easier to be invisible rather than seen or does one just quit trying to be noticed?
How do we help our students practice what we teach? Every person has worth. Every person deserves respect.
How do we empower the "invisible ones?"
There are no easy answers to these questions.
A very important question. Making a note to look up the book.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is a "discourse analysis class"? Is it to help teachers better communicate with students?
ReplyDeleteOne year I had a girl that I swore could make herself "visibly invisible". In other words, she was there but she wasn't. Could this be a coping strategy? Looking forward to hearing more about this class.

Such important questions here, and with no easy answers. Why don't we deal with this issue more?
ReplyDeleteGreat book, Julie. I used this book at the beginning of the school year, but it deserves to be revisited frequently. Just the name of your course scares me!
ReplyDeleteYou're asking such important questions, Julie. I did a little work with discourse analysis when I studied critical literacy at TC as a graduate student. It's work I wish I had the time to dive into more deeply nowadays. (Perhaps I just need to carve out time for it.)
