Abstract: | In this response to Konstantinos Alexakos, Jayson K. Jones, and Victor H. Rodriguez, I will focus primarily on the importance
of relationality for the development of a science learner identity. Along the way I will review (1) The cultural dynamics
involved with the formation and sustenance of relationships in social life; (2) The methodological advantages of ethnographic
inquiry for exploring funds of relationality; (3) The importance of relationality for science innovation throughout the pipeline
of scientific training from K-12 schooling all the way through scientific breakthrough; (4) The absolutely vital role that
relationality plays in creating a science learner identity. Finally I highlight how collaborative ethnography, in particular,
is an excellent tool for seeking out funds of relationality that can be marshaled in the classroom as well as contributing to conceptual advancement in the theoretical vocabulary of
relational sociology. |
