Tuesday, June 23, 2015. The journeys within the research journey: Making time for wellbeing. Some mornings it's easy to find inspiration to fuel my thinking. My cycle journey to university presents many of the same features each day, experienced a little differently. Loosing feeling in my hands and feet is not the most obvious contribution to a sense of wellbeing, but it sure helps me to appreciate my office once I get there. And some days, moving around on a bike is just tested to the limits. Do share p...

Friday, April 10, 2015. Seeing the signs - the switched-on analysis brain. I realised I had 'analysis brain' a few weekends ago as I was driving back from a day of interviewing participants. Being a Sunday afternoon, the offerings on National radio were more entertainment than current affairs, but something must have caught my attention. Perhaps it was the mention of Facebook? Currently I'm immersed in transcribing. I'm actively looking for themes instead of tripping over them. It's a laborious y...Profe...

Wednesday, April 27, 2016. I dont deserve to be here': One postgrad student's musings on imposter syndrome. Those old familiar feelings of inadequacy ramped up even more this year and begun to mess with my ability to get a good night's sleep. I would see Master of Education under the heading qualification in progress, there in black and white, and not be able to understand or believe it. Why hadn't I been found out yet?
