Shirin Vossoughi is an assistant professor of Learning Sciences at Northwestern University, where she draws on ethnographic and interactional methods to study the social, cultural, historical, political, and ethical dimensions of learning. Vossoughi’s research centers on hybrid learning environments that blend formal and informal elements and support young people to engage in sophisticated forms of disciplinary thinking while questioning and expanding disciplinary boundaries. As the daughter of Iranian immigrants, she is also personally invested in the development and study of educational settings for youth from migrant, immigrant, and diasporic backgrounds. Vossoughi is currently studying embodied learning in after-school tinkering/making programs, as well as the role of feedback on writing in the context of political education. She takes a collaborative approach to research, partnering with educators and students to study the conditions that foster educational dignity and possibility.
