Ethical musings

03/04/2014 Susan Dawson Leave a comment

I have just got back from a few days at this year’s IATEFL conference in Harrogate. Perhaps I’ll blog about the conference itself sometime, but what I’d like to try and write down now is the essence of what for me was a very interesting series of conversations. They started in the very elegant surroundings of Betty’s tearooms (Harrogate tea, […]

Time and Memory (and research(er) narratives)

20/01/2013 Richard Fay 3 comments

This quote caught my eye: “Time and memory are a fussy firm on interior decorators, always shifting the furniture about and redesigning and even reassigning rooms” (p.28) Banville, John (2012). Ancient Light. London: Viking/Penguin. A timely reminder, if ever we needed it, of the great importance of maintaining a Research(er) Journal THROUGHOUT the process and not rely on memory and […]

Here is a body of scholars actively striving for a better world, for social justice in all its forms and for an education that is both […]

The Auto/Biography Study Group is part of the professional association of sociologists, the British Sociological Association (BSA).

I must be a profound thinker, and men like that naturally don’t speak very much

17/08/2010 Achilleas Kostoulas One comment

I was intrigued by Magdalena’s recent reflexivity post, but – in a shamelessly selfish way – what I took away from reading the post seems to reveal more about myself than her. This extract was quite illuminating, especially if one considers what could be there but isn’t: There was also the discussion on the narrative-reflexivity link, which helped me to […]

But I would like to (finally) add my thoughts on the discussion on reflective/reflexive area. Since I’m late in the conversation I won’t address the plethora of what’s been discussed in the previous 30 […]

On Reflexivity (again…)

12/08/2010 Achilleas Kostoulas 8 comments

This post is partly motivated by the fact that the original reflexivity thread has grown rather too long, and partly by the need for me to make a ‘new beginning’ as regards my understanding of what reflexivity is and how it bears on my research. I am conscious that my current understanding diverges somewhat from the direction in which the […]
