Bob Williams, Professor of Education
Chair of the Mielke Family Department of Education
Director of the Linguistics Program
Since 2004 I’ve been teaching courses in education studies and teacher education and supervising student teaching internships. I also teach courses in linguistics and cognitive science (my Ph.D. field). In my research, I study how people construct meaning in instructional situations, collaborative reasoning, and creative activity, focusing on the role of gesture in building shared understandings.
