CASE Conversations

A Virtual Series Presented by the Center for Access, Success & Equity (CASE)

CASE Conversations are monthly virtual sessions that spotlight the work of our faculty and partners. Each session explores current research, innovative practices, and emerging issues in education—serving as a resource for:

  • P–20 educators and administrators
  • Faculty and staff across the College of Education
  • University and community partners

These conversations foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing across all levels of education, bridging research and real-world impact.

Next Session: What if we listened to educational research differently? 

📅 Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026
🕐 Time: 1:00 pm (via Zoom)
🎙 Presenter: Dr. Walter Gershon

Join us for the September CASE Conversation, featuring Dr. Walter S. Gershon, Associate Professor of Critical Foundations of Education in the Department of Early Childhood, Elementary Education and Critical Foundations.
 
Dr. Gershon invites us to think beyond what we see and say in educational research, and to consider what we might discover when we listen. Sonic Methodologies: Conducting (Educational) Qualitative Research In, As, and Through Sound.
 
In this conversation, Dr. Gershon will share research from his upcoming book and explore sound as a methodology for understanding educational experiences. His work asks us to consider how listening, to voices, environments, rhythms, silences, and the sounds of everyday educational life can open new ways of knowing and doing research.
 
Whether you are an educator, researcher, school leader, or simply curious about how we understand educational experiences, this conversation offers an opportunity to listen differently, think differently, and perhaps hear education in a new way.
