DESCRIPTION:Title: What does knowledge look like (thus far)?\n\n \n\nSpeake

 mation and Technology\, University of Toronto Mississauga\n	Prof. Max Evans
 \, School of Information Studies\, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ\n\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n
 \nThe most common tools individuals use to articulate complex and abstract
  concepts are written and spoken language\, long privileged as primary for
 ms of communication. However\, explanations of these concepts may be more 
 aptly communicated through visual means\, such as drawings. Our multidisci
 plinary research study explores this idea by asking participants (aged 5-6
 5+) to draw what they thought knowledge looks like on a 5.5 x 11-inch card
 stock.\n\n \n\nOver the last five years we have collected and analyzed ove
 r 1\,300 drawings from the University of Toronto Mississauga\, the Ontario
  Science Centre (OSC)\, the Toledo Museum of Art\, and the Danish Institut
 e for Study Abroad\, Copenhagen. Our analysis has focused on interpreting 
 graphic representation types in the drawings and analyzing the graphic obj
 ects individuals use to depict and communicate the abstract concept of kno
 wledge.\n\n \n\nThis seminar will focus on the research we have completed 
 thus far and briefly outline the next steps. Specifically\, we will discus
 s how we used Engelhardt’s (2002) graphic classification typology and furt
 her explored grouping and linking diagrams (i.e.\, how participants combin
 ed and arranged common graphic objects) using Tversky’s (2011\; 2015) theo
 ries for constructing meaning through diagrams. We will also discuss how w
 e approached (and plan to further explore) understanding and analyzing the
  use of metaphors and symbols in drawings. Our most recent analysis builds
  on primary and visual metaphor theory\, and looks to adapt the Master Met
 aphor List (MML) created by Lakeoff and colleagues (1991).\n\n \n\nCome sp
 end the afternoon checking out some of our favourite drawings of knowledge
  and maybe even draw one yourself!\n\n \n\n \n
