Faculty members’ lives in the United States are increasingly entwined with information and communication technologies (ICTs). Though considered by some to exist well outside of social forces, technologies are, in fact, a product of very human policies and practices. The norms and expectations set in a classroom, as in any environment, will shape the ways ICTs, such as cell phones, advance or impede faculty members’ pedagogical goals.

Join Fresno State faculty members Henry Delcore (Anthropology) and Aimee Rickman (Child and Family Science) from noon to 12:50 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, in FFS 318 to discuss recent findings from their Students’ Social Technology Usage critical research project considering the wider cognitive, social and material infrastructures that inform students’ involvements with ICTs, and the ways our policies and practices around these devices impact Fresno State students’ experiences in our classrooms.

All faculty welcome.

Sponsored by the College of Social Science, the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology and the California Faculty Association.
