DESCRIPTION:This seminar points to the ways in which Charles S. Peirce (18
 39 – 1914) – “the father of pragmatism” – enhances our understan
 ding of educational processes. In giving an account of Peirce’s later se
 meiotic while pointing to some fruitful contributions from his “speculat
 ive rhetoric\,” I here explore how Peirce helps to illuminate the dynami
 cs of knowledge and learning in relation to the complex symbolic economies
  of today. In what ways may Peirce move beyond traditional notions of educ
 ational processes?\n\n\nTorill Strand is a post-doctoral researcher at Uni
 versity of Oslo\, Norway. Her research interests range from meta-theory to
  social epistemologies\, educational theory\, philosophy of education and 
 semiotics. Her current research work concerns the later semeiotic of C. S.
  Peirce. Recently\, she has guest-edited a special issue on Cosmopolitanis
 m in the Making (Studies in Philosophy and Education)\, Educating the Glob
 al Village (Nordic Studies in Education) and a special issue on Peirce’s
  Rhetorical Turn: Prospects for Educational Theory and Research (Education
 al Philosophy and Theory). Some of her recent titles are The Cosmopolitan 
 Turn. Recasting Dialogue and Difference (2010)\; Beyond Education: Metapho
 rs on Creativity and Workplace Learning (2010)\; Peirce’s New Rhetoric (
 2010)\; and The Rudeness of Lived Experience. C. S. Peirce on the Dynamics
