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\,” the seminar explores how Peirce helps to illuminate the 
 dynamics of knowledge and learning embedded in the complex symbolic econom
 ies of today. In what ways may Peirce move beyond traditional notions of e
 ducational processes?\n\n\nTorill Strand is a post-doctoral researcher at
