#rhizo14 autoethnography and representation

In case you haven’t heard, we’re all trying to do some sort of emergent coding in order to analyze the #rhizo14 autoethnography. That’s quite normal practice for qualitative data, and I’m one of the people who has experience with emergent and am rooting for it… it helps one find themes in large sets of data,…

No Size Fits All: Design Considerations for Networked PD in #HigherEd #NLC2020 with @dgachago17 @nicolapallitt

I am very proud of this work I did with Daniela Gachago and Nicola Pallitt (thank you both for inviting me to be part of this team!). I am proud of how we used collaborative autoethnography to help build towards theory that resulted in a framework, which I can imagine other people using as they…

Looking Back on 2018

Today I found myself reminiscing about 2018 and what I am most proud of… the bulk of it is extra institutional work, a lot related to teaching, conf presentations and publications… but surprisingly the first thing on my mind is a parenting one!

Notes from #HortonFreire

Right & Wrong on Quantiative vs Qualitative binary

I was right and wrong. I was right that I didn’t really need to read the post by Lawrie Phipps and Dave Cormier on narratives vs analytics in education and beyond (I like how they connected it to politics but that’s secondary to my post). Because it’s already a worldview I subscribe to, so really, what more was…

My Thank You for Your Generosity List

I am in the process of writing my annual faculty report and keep thinking over and over that the things I value, that I learned from most and am proudest of are things I don’t know how to write about for a traditional academic audience. But what the heck, I can write about it here!…

Scholarly Sweet Spots…or not?

Scholarly sweet spots. Nice alliteration, yeah? I have been thinking I found a couple of scholarly sweet spots lately… Identity sweetspot For example… I have been struggling with my role as faculty developer as I evolved as a teacher and researcher, so when I found myself increasingly liking Lee Skallerup Bessette’s work, I asked her…
