Hi everyone, this is a short reflection on a 3 day summer course I attended. On August 23rd I travelled to Holland with the purpose of attending a 3 day workshop on Narrative Analysis.

Read moreAbstract Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development DOI:10.1080/01434632.2015.1134554 Interviews with a small group of doctoral students at a British university indicate that the students feel that the programme provides an environment within which they develop interculturality through reflexive engagement with the PhD community and in some cases with the participants in their research. Significant here is that they are interpretivist, […]

Read moreAndrea and I were both taking our first steps into the world of ELT, she as a nine-year old pupil and I as a teacher freshly out of what passes as ITE in Greece. I’d noticed her on occasion, waiting alone at the lobby, generally keeping to herself, sometimes reading a list of irregular verbs or, just as often, looking […]

Read more(This is an edited version of the introduction to the collection of texts which we circulated in preparation for the day. The texts contributed by particpants were then extensively discussed on the day itself …) A Second Narrativity-Reflexivity Seminar We have (so far) texts from the following participants: Magdalena, Julian, Richard, Lou, Juup, and Vivien.

Read moreAs mentioned eearlier in this discussion area of the Doctoral Community blog, the first ‘Narrativity-Reflexivity’ gathering back in October seemed to have been enjoyable and of value. Therefore, we have raised the possibility of a follow-up 2nd session involving as many of our travelling, part-time and fll-time members of our community as possible. The most promising dates seem to be in the 2nd half […]

Thank you for this tremedous opportunity. Right now I am at the stage of deciding what direction I want to take in furthering my research activities – whether I should […]

Richard set the context for the event (see below) and rehearsed again his reflexivity-narrativity visual presented in the earlier discussions in this […]
Read moreI 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 […]
Read moreI enter into the discussion melee rather late in the game. I’m not a great blogger and end up lurking online bouncing between posts and forums. 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 […]
