Alma Krilic: Foundations of Dialogic Communication
This discussion-based session is designed for educators who are interested in incorporating dialogic communication into their curriculum. Unlike the ?traditional? classroom, in which the teacher is the transmitter of knowledge, dialogic communication is founded on the premise that both the teacher and the student enter a partnership, or a relation, where both are transformed as a result. Dialogic communication is not about the content, the participants, or the outcomes. The more urgent issue that needs to be discussed is the relational nature of dialogue and the role that language plays in communication. This session will outline the philosophical approaches on which dialogic communication rests, namely existential phenomenology and philosophical anthropology. Some of the thinkers that will be discussed include John Stewart, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Gert Biesta, and Mikhail Bakhtin.
