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 teacher education and education studies and supervising student teaching internships. I also teach courses in cognitive science (my Ph.D. field) and linguistics. In my research, I study how people construct meaning in instructional situations, collaborative problem-solving, and creative activity, focusing on the role of gesture in building shared understandings.
