Bertram (Chip) Bruce

Bertram (Chip) Bruce, USA, All Sectors

I'm a Professor in Library & Information Science, Curriculum & Instruction, Bioengineering, the Center for Writing Studies, and the Center for East Asian & Pacific Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During 2007-08, I held a Fulbright Distinguished Chair at the National College of Ireland in Dublin.

My research goals include contributing to a conception of democratic education, meaning both the development of critical, socially-engaged citizens and of learning environments (schools, universities, libraries, museums, community centers, workplaces, ...), which are themselves democratic. Aspects of this work include research on community inquiry through collaborative community-based work, the theory of inquiry-based learning, drawing especially upon scholarship of the American pragmatists and the history of Progressive Education, and research on the affordances and constraints of new media for learning, encapsulated by the term technology-enhanced learning.

My background in computer science defines a continuing interest in the promise, as well as the perils, that information and communication technologies offer for understanding, representing, and transforming our lived experiences. Over time, that interest has led to explorations of a variety of questions regarding the nature of knowledge, democratic participation, community, technology, and literacy.

I’ve drawn from John Dewey’s theory of inquiry and the broader pragmatist tradition, including the work of Jane Addams, William James, Ella Flagg Young, and others, and perhaps most of all on studies situated in community action. Libr@ries bookSpecific questions include: (1) How can we understand learning and lived experience? (2) How does an ecological perspective on information and communication inform our understanding of individual, organizational, and societal growth? (3) How can an historical perspective inform research on learning, communities, and democratic development?

This work is discussed in recent books, including Libr@ries: Changing information space and practice (2006) and Literacy in the information age: Inquiries into meaning making with new technologies (2003), various articles, and presentations. It is enacted through many projects of the Community Informatics Initiative (which I co-founded with Ann Bishop), and in the development of computer systems to support collaboration and community action, such as Quill, the Inquiry Page, and Community Inquiry Labs (iLabs).

Kevin Blissett

Kevin Blissett, China, Secondary, TOK, English, Spanish

was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. While growing up, I excelled in sports and academics, attending advanced program schools in the public system and studying on the honors track at a parochial high school. I played American football for eight years and also played on basketball and baseball teams. Upon graduating from high school, I served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the New Mexico-Albuquerque Mission (Spanish speaking). From there I enrolled at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and graduated in three years on full and partial tuition scholarships.

I was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi national honor society and into Sigma Delta Pi, the Hispanic studies honor society. My post graduate work took me to Vanderbilt University School of Law (degree incomplete) and then to the University of Louisville, again on full-tuition scholarship, where I did my master’s work. I spent ten years as a Spanish and Humanities teacher in the Jefferson County Public School system where I also assumed leadership positions. Moreover, I enjoyed serving as a football and track coach.

I had my first experience in international education at the Busan Foreign School in Korea. From there I moved on to China where I’ve been serving as the principal of the international department of Xi’an Hi-Tech International School in Xi’an, China.
