Dear Christin and Isaura,
Please find my brief bio below. Like my colleague Carol, I will only be able to attend the session on May 2.
Bio of Jianwei Zhang: I am an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice at the University at Albany, State University of New York. My research explores conditions and means to engage students in productive knowledge building supported by collaborative and interactive technologies. More information about my work can be found at:
http://tccl.rit.albany.edu
I'm interested in applying a complex system perspective to understanding how productive learning communities function and developing/adapting research tools (e.g., social network analysis) to investigate such dynamic social systems in education.
Thanks,
Jianwei

Hi Christin and Isaura,
Below is a short bio. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the Sunday session due to a previous commitment. I am looking forward to the session, however.
Yours,

BIO–
I am an associate professor of education at the University at Albany, State University of New York. Her interests include reflective practice, John Dewey, presence in teaching, teacher identity formation, and the history of progressive teacher education. I have taught in multiple contexts including lycées in Senegal, refugee camps in South East Asia, and suburban US schools. I have also supervised teachers in the US and abroad. My publications include “Defining reflection: Another look at John Dewey and reflective thinking,” Teachers College Press (2002), which was given the AERA Award for Exemplary Research in 2004; “Presence in teaching,” Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice (2006, co-authored with Miriam Raider-Roth); “Attending to student voice,” Curriculum Inquiry (2006); and “Development of the personal self and professional identity in learning to teach,” [Rodgers, C. and K. Scott (2008)] In Cochran-Smith, Marilyn and Sharon Feiman-Nemser, (Eds.) Handbook of Research in Teacher Education, Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Earlbaum.
I am interested in this working group because I am interested in understanding the complexities of learning and teaching. The impact of context on these processes is something I am attuned to but do not know a lot about. Hence my interest in the session.
