Dear all,
First welcome Yong Lin and Wang Ge to join us!
Also, thanks Matthew for sitting with us for a while in his busy schedule as the start of this group was due to his idea!
At the beginning of this meeting, each of us reported our research topic and what we had done in the past week in a few sentences. I would like to highlight that Xiuli joined us after finishing her panel meeting and she would do presentation this afternoon (Friday) at 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.in Room 403, 4/F Runme Shaw Building. If you have time, let's go and support her!
Manla introduced her fascinating study language policy in Tibet in relevance with construction of Chinese national identity. She discussed how a negotiation of Power happened via the change of language policy in Tibet and how the policy impacted on the daily practice in schools. She used critical discourse analysis in her study.
Next Friday, Cheri will conduct guided reading on Foucault entitled with 'Undressing Foucault'. I put a few website concerned with Foucault if you are interested in knowing a bit more of this interesting man before joining our meeting next Friday:
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/foucault/
http://www.theory.org.uk/ctr-fouc.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Foucault
http://www.michel-foucault.com/concepts/index.html
I will add this report and some other reference in our blog. I think Cheri will circulate some reading material to us in advance.
Enjoy your weekend & see you next week!
Best regards
Issa
