Position papers for BERA (British Educational Research Association)
Here I share my two position papers written as part of the review of the ethical guidelines for the British Educational Research Association.
Article: Researcher experiences in practice-based interdisciplinary research
This article discusses researchers' experiences of interdisciplinary research to maximize the benefits of interdisciplinary research.
Handbags: representations of identity and memories
Handbags: I am inviting you to take in part in my research project. Information, contact details and consent form available from here.
Creative output: This is just to say
This is an example of an ethnographic poem, the output of poetic inquiry and analysis within Embodied Inquiry from my research with academics.
The part-time doctorate
This is an extract from a guest post on the Thriving Part-Time blog to highlight the experience of time and how to make the most of it as a part-time doctoral student.
Book: Ableism in Academia
The book "Ableism in Academia" provides an interdisciplinary outlook on ableism that is currently missing. Through reporting research data and exploring personal experiences, the contributors theorise and conceptualise what it means to be/work outside the stereotypical norm.
Supervising PhDs: Dealing with ‘atypical’ students
This is an extract from a guest post on the Supervising PhDs Community Blog, where I explore the experience of "atypical" students, and what research supervisors can do to better support those "atypical" students.
Article: Partnership in learning
This paper outlines two distinct staff-student collaborations and how such a partnership may innovate teaching practices.
Skype – Video-conference interviews in health research
The paper discusses practical, ethical, and methodological pitfalls and concerns when using Skype as a tool for interviewing.
More messages from the classroom
We need to think about what the messages are we send. So here are some more messages from the classroom.
Learning from the Korean context
This post shows the Korean educational context and how I have discovered that you can be half-way around the world, and yet nothing changes.
What’s your message?
In this post I am asking "What's your message?". This is about teachers' behaviours and attitudes and how students perceive these.
Reflective model according to Rolfe et al.
This is a description of how Rolfe's model of reflection should be used in order to improve practice and learning.
Teaching and reflective practice
Teaching and learning are complex due to the many factors that impact what happens in a classroom. Teachers need to constantly adapt and change their activities and plans accordingly. And in order to do just that in an efficient and effective way, teachers must be reflective.
The bilingual’s relationship with language
Having a bilingual child does not necessarily mean that the child’s relationship with languages is an easy one. It is possible that your bilingual child simultaneously loves and loathes languages.
Challenges in bilingual families no one tells you about
Bringing up a child bilingually is a conscious decision, but there are issues and challenges that bilingual families encounter that are not mentioned in any of those handbooks or parent guides. Knowing about these might have had led to fewer disappointments.
