Above is a slide from Dr. McVee's presentation.

​Positioning Theory developed as a method of analysis aimed at revealing the storylines and implicit (sometimes explicit) ascriptions and resistances to ascriptions of rights and duties to perform actions expressing social acts appropriate to the situations recognized by participants in a strip of life" (Harre, 2012).

Dr. Mary McVee, from the State University of New York University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education, organized a conference this week to learn and share information about positioning theory. Although the other attendees were essentially experts on, or at least users of, positioning theory, I attended as a complete novice. I found every presentation to be educative and enlightening. Now I have the task or reading the literature to help understand how I could apply the theory (or its variants) to my research and to my teaching.

​Below are references to provide more detail. (I'll expand on this article in the near future.)
