EDUCATIONAL POLICY EXPERT TO LECTURE AT SLU

CANTON - Nicholas C. Burbules, professor of educational 
policy studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, 
will give the Third Annual Dean's Lecture at St. Lawrence 
University on Monday, February 11, at 4:30 p.m. in the Hepburn 
Auditorium. The event is open to the public, free of charge.
	Burbules' topic for the lecture is "Dialogue and Third 
Spaces." Dialogue in teaching can be about the formation of 
"border zones" that create a shared discursive space for teachers 
and students to discuss issues at hand, without which teachers 
and students can often talk past each other, especially on contexts 
of cultural difference.
	Burbules is the author of several books, including Dialogue 
in Teaching: Theory and Practice, Teaching and Its Predicaments, 
Watch IT: The Risks and Promises of New Information Technologies 
for Education, Globalization and Education: Critical Perspectives 
and Postpositivism and Educational Research.
	The Dean's Lecture at St. Lawrence is sponsored by an 
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Center for Teaching and Learning 
grant and a William and Flora Hewlett Liberal Arts Program grant.
