Dear Jack and friends, I am in China for the next two months.. receiving email is highly problematic..smile.Its nice to see the network expanding. I was recently told by a senior member of faculty that practitioner research and reflection was not and never would be research or considered to be research as long as she was Professor! ( No PhD). So the value of such a network as this can not be over stated. It also tells us of how much work is still to do. All the best Je Kan.

Hi Jack (et al).
Thanks for the welcome - Nick suggested that I join the practitioner-researcher list. I currently support doctoral researchers at Manchester (some of whom are involved in professional doctorates) and am interested/involved in researching my own practice as a researcher developer. Really happy to develop networks with anybody who has an interest in the above and also reflective practice.
Best,
Emily

Dear All,
I thought some people on this list may be interested in this event.
Reflection and reflective practice are often regarded as an individual process of introspection. On the other hand, academics have also developed a structural view of reflection with 'cycles, spirals and loops' (Kolb, Carr & Kemmis and Agyris) as models of reflective practice.
This workshop provides a new theory and practice which together bridge between the individual idea of reflection and the structural view, using a unique social identity approach.This new practice, called SharedThinking, has been successfully implemented in a variety of different institutions and with different subject disciplines.
This experiential workshop is entitled "Reflective Practice: A Social Identity Approach" and it is due to take place in York on Wednesday 6th March. If you are interested, then you can book online via the link below or by completing the attached booking form.

If either of you (and anyone else in the seminar) has a narrative to share in which, as a practitioner-researcher, you have researched your own practice and can show and explain your educational influences in your own learning, in the learning of others and in the learning of the social formations in which you/we live and work do please let us know where we can access this. If you have such a narrative available on the web do please send on the url for us to share.
You might enjoy some of the narratives given freely as gifts from other practitioner-researchers who have researched their own practice at:
http://www.actionresearch.net/living/living.shtml (these are enquiries taking at least five years)
and
http://www.actionresearch.net/writings/mastermod.shtml (there are enquiries usually completed in 2-3 years)
