In line with January decluttering / NY resolutions / general desire to have work-y things be healthier and more focused this year - farewell at last to my X/Twitter account. Happy to be here on BlueSky and also enjoying the increasing academic activity on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/katrinamc...)

Blue sky for #bluesky ... A joy to be with colleagues from @waikatouniversity.bsky.social on a writing retreat in such a beautiful spot. Loving the sound of the waves and the stunning outlook while we support each other as writers and scholars. #pāpāmoabeach #mountnz #itcouldbeworse

2/2 Today I'm presenting on our analysis of Australian (n=37) and NZ (n=8) university websites, where we looked for representation and visibility of parents. "You can't be what you can't see" - so where are all the parents on these carefully curated websites? Collab w/ @shanmason.bsky.social
Screenshot of our cover slide. Text reads "How visible are parents and parenting on Australian and New Zealand university websites? Katrina McChesney, University of Waikato | Shannon Mason, Nagasaki University." The left side of the slide is a clip art-style graphic of a grid pattern of graduation hats, with some of the hats replaced with coloured icons representing parents and parenting: a woman carrying a child (pink), a man holding hands with a child (green), a woman with a pram (yellow), a child holding a balloon (red), a man leaning over a baby on a change table (blue), and a family with two adults and two children all holding hands (purple).

Great to be at the #NZARE2024 NZ Assn for Research in Education conference at @waikatouniversity.bsky.social this week. Yesterday I presented on how demographic/identity factors affect people's experiences of academic peer review (collaborative work with Kay Hammond & Julie Trafford of AUT).
A screenshot of our cover slide. Text reads "How do demographic aspects of identity affect academics' experiences of peer review? Kay Hammond - Auckland University of Technology; Katrina McChesney - University of Waikato; Julie Trafford - Auckland University of Technology. The right side of the slide is a cartoon image showing a researcher (drawn small, wearing a white coat, and at the bottom of the screen) looking up at much larger figures with serious faces seated behind a bench holding/reading a document. The cartoon implies a power dynamic between reviewers and researchers.
