A very professional (& not at all interspersed with giggles) meeting today between Kirsty and @edukayte.bsky.social, writing an abstract for our session at AoC English and Maths Conference in Feb!

VERY excited to be doing the breakout session ‘The FE Literacy Movement - Practice and Progress’

Day 6 #100daysofPhD setting myself small reading goals per day may actually be for the win.

My day
- school drop off
- cats to the vet
- post office
- full days work - lesson planning, responding to emails, planning ahead etc

AND read a paper, made notes & now I’m thinking about it.

Winner.

Day 4 and 5 #100daysPhD With kids still at home on holiday it’s just been some reading over the last few days. Plans to make an inspiration board at the weekend (with the kids) and using my new highlighters in the books I shouldn’t be reading.

As of tomorrow, I’m reading one paper a day for 6 days.

Day 24 #ResearchAdvent I am
looking forward to … doing this again next year! It’s a great way to see how my understanding has developed year to year. Hopefully next time I’ll be clearer on theoretical framework, methodology and analysis.

First time I did it I didn’t know what these things were. 😎🤘

Day 22 #ResearchAdvent The perfect gift for a researcher is…belief in your ability to achieve the PhD you’ve always dreamt of.

And books. Obviously.

From my Dad for Christmas. 💜📚

The #FEjolabokaflod must read book list!

Merry Christmas, all. 💜📚

Thank you to my #FEjolabokaflod Secret 🤶🏻! Beautiful book, with kitties in it! 😻

Every year a bunch of us #FE folk take part in the Icelandic tradition of sending each other books to open on Xmas Eve. Spreading the love of books and keeping us connected. 💜📚🎄

Merry Christmas, all. ❤️

Day 21 #ResearchAdvent still working on the theoretical framework. I’m reading feminist research & methodologies at the moment - have considered thinking about powerful knowledge. So, Bernstein mixed with the feminist research I find that feels like it fits? Hope I’m clearer on it this time next yr

Day 20 #ResearchAdvent I’d like to meet other people doing PhDs/EdDs, supervisors and researchers…just to talk about research in an informal way as I find that really helps to make sense of it all.

Enjoying the DoCos organised by @jkschmees.bsky.social at @derbyuni.bsky.social for that very reason!

Day 19 #ResearchAdvent Having finally agreed on a new focus for my research with supervisors this week, I’ve gone back to looking at narrative analysis over thematic analysis.

I’ll be collecting lived experiences and actions of participants so thinking this might be the one. 🤷‍♀️

Day 18 #ResearchAdvent I am utterly inspired by my FE & HE colleagues. Through my various roles I get to meet so many amazing practitioners, researchers & trainees. Their everyday practice blows my mind and motivates me to find out more, to learn more, so I can make a positive difference. 💜📚

Day 17 #ResearchAdvent Nourishment, rest and health - I get all of this from chilling with my family.

Having a slow day at the weekends, cuddles, movies, snacks, going for a walk that ends in an ice cream & a Prosecco on the waterside at the Marina.

Simple things. Bliss. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

And reading, obv. 💜📚
