Exploring the Endogenous Pedagogies of Competent Worlds

Throughout his career, Chuck Goodwin has pushed and transcended disciplinary boundaries. In his work, we find strong connections to anthropology, linguistics, and sociology. He has addressed themes central to cognitive science, philosophy, and semiotics. Even though his research is sometimes classifi ed as linguistic anthropology or applied linguistics, he has been careful in emphasizing that the phenomena he sets out to analyze require an approach that draws on different disciplinary perspectives. In a non-trivial way, it is the material that Goodwin works with, his video recordings of people engaging in various activities together, that drives his analyses and conceptualizations.
