Making meaning: the role of semiotics and education

The IOE was saddened to hear of the passing of Gunther Kress, Professor of Semiotics and Education, on 20 June 2019. A widely regarded academic, linguist, semiotician and social theorist, Professor Kress was a pioneer of critical linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and social semiotics. In this 2011 interview, Professor Kress spoke about the kind of role semiotics and education can play when it comes to making meaning. He's joined by Sophia Diamantopolou, a student at the time of recording, and currently a Senior Teaching Fellow at the UCL Centre for Applied Linguistics. #weareioe #UCLMinds
