SCHOLARSHIP<\/h5>\n

I hold a PhD in Curriculum & Instruction, Educational Technology from the University of Florida College of Education’s School of Teaching and Learning.<\/p>\n

My doctoral study focused on the experiences of instructional designers embedded in higher education.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Research interests include issues around the intersection of technology and pedagogy in higher education, specifically: instructional design; instructional designers; faculty development for online\/blended teaching; and online\/blended mentoring and advising. I utilize approaches that incorporate an explicit awareness and responsiveness to issues of inclusivity, criticality, diversity, gender, and power. I am interested in the experiences of individuals and generally orient myself from a qualitative, relativist ontology. I strive above all else for my work to be rigorously humanizing, transformative, and participatory.<\/p>\n

I am driven by a thus-far insatiable curiosity and desire to learn and know more. I ask questions. I love to listen to others tell their stories, to reflect and discuss together, and ultimately to write about it later.<\/p>\n
