After the @OpenUniversity Research Excellence Awards last week, I'm so pleased to share my thesis: oro.open.ac.uk/84495/. An action-based and theory building organisational learning approach for collaboratively addressing complex fragmented challenges in HE and beyond @IETatOU – at Milton Keynes, England

What amazing thoughts shared from the @OpenUniversity graduation yesterday. Celebrating diversity and encouraging everyone to be just who they fully are. That’s the superpower!! Takes me back to my graduation with my son 18 months ago. ❤️@learnventurer @JitkaVseteckova &💪to all!

I think my X days are becoming numbered, but looking forward to my presentation slot and to participating in the International Grounded Theory conference, to network and debate on the future of GT and to support each other in our theory building. @OU_WELS @OU_CSGD @IGTA_Grounded

So the Heavens had opened at the @GrdtheoryScot symposium & we were all getting soaked !! So many fellow GT travellers came up to me to share their ideas and questions, and spark off ideas. Brilliant conversations. All best for your unfolding work and journeys. Cheers everyone 🥂

On a train from MK to Edinburgh to present at the inaugural @GrdtheoryScot Scottish Grounded Theory Network symposium tmrw. Beautiful Lake District scenery outside. So looking forward to an in person gathering & sharing all things theory building @OU_WELS @OU_CSGD @IGTA_Grounded

Looking forward to doing my WiP work-in-progress session with the lovely @OU_CSGD today at noon to share and discuss my interdisciplinary action based and theory building approach. Collaborative and equitable technology-enabled exploration of complex fragmented problems @OU_WELS

This is our amazing Strelitzia in our conservatory at the moment. She’s just doing her thing and kicking out all her petals. Strelitzias are indigenous to South Africa and we bought her at the Eden Project about 10 years ago after we came from SA, to live back in the UK. 🧡🇿🇦🇬🇧

So thrilled to be part of the #CSGDConnectDay on Thurs, and with my choc lolly for an energetic and enthusiastic 3 min project spotlight !! Thank you @OU_CSGD 💝. Video below about their inclusive, exploratory & interdisciplinary approach to development research. Lots to share 👏

And, at this moment, @kevinhollinrake uses these numbers to justify with the public that he’s working hard and good progress is being made. The public can exhibit judgment and know that numbers do not tell the human story. They understand the human stories and the ethics at play.

Getting ready to jump off the iceberg as guest speaker for the very first @GOGN_OER Experts and Friends research special tomorrow !! Looking forward to meeting with old friends and new - follow thru below for Zoom link.

So proud to have inspired others with @inalpu for the Ageing Well public talks, on challenges & rewards of doing a doctorate later in your career or life. If you're thinking of it, this may be helpful. Follow thru below for a 1 hour recording & a pdf to access all the references. – at Milton Keynes, England

Looking forward to making new friends in the @GOGN_OER network by sharing my research & some ideas on open theory building for collaboratively & inclusively addressing complex, fragmented challenging situations in HE and beyond!! Link below @OU_CSGD @OU_WELS @IETatOU @OU_LD_Team

Really enjoyed doing this just now, and to help inspire others along the long doctoral road!! #AgeingWellPublicTalks @OU_WELS @OUGradSch

One day to go !! We’re getting excited to share the thrills and spills of doing a doctorate later in life for the @OpenUniversity #AgeingWellPublicTalk - tomorrow at 11am via Zoom or Stadium. wels.open.ac.uk/events/agein…. Time for questions & chat at the end!
