  • Perhaps if the government cannot agree on a budget, the opposition should be sent to Gitmo? Then again, who is the opposition? #
  • A lot of last minute academic work before I travel to the UK for some collaboration with my colleagues and supervisors at Lancaster #phdchat #
  • Nice sharing some ideas, #phdchat More to come later! #
  • Writing for readers seems to mean giving them something for their sake, rather than waxing eleoquent for one's self #phdchat #
  • From a literacy frame, I think people appreciate reading something clear and direct, rather than complicated and with big words #phdchat #
  • Consider what a non-academic wants to know about our work, and then write specifically with that reader in mind #phdchat #
  • Perhaps consider what a non-academic wants to know about our work, and then write specifically with that reader in mind. #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-04-06

  • Just before the #lumsforum cut out, somebody asked Wenger a question about Bourdieu's concept of habitus. Wish would have heard the Q&A! #
  • Great to be able to attend Etienne Wenger's streaming session at #Lancs http://bit.ly/e5qRf6 #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • Wenger just stated that #CoP Theory accounts for a Foucauldian notion of power. Where can I read more research on this? #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • I like being able to state where one's interests are and why that is the case. Explaining it helps to differentiate #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • Nicely stated how Wenger sees these elements related, but his interests are located in learning identity and meaning making #lumsforum #
  • Interesting way Wenger considered #actor network theory and #CoP with reification of practices and their influences #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • My question is being asked! http://bit.ly/e5qRf6 #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • "The world as a landscape of practices." Quite nicely stated, Etienne! I hope you develop this line of thinking more #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • Question for Etienne: How does CoP Theory account for non-human influences on communities (cf. #actor network theory)? #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • Beautiful, Wenger just referred to ANT #actor network theory (but not sure about the dog example!) http://bit.ly/e5qRf6 #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • I love Wenger's postmodern stance about a lack of grand theories in the social sciences; otherwise tend to reductionism #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • Hmm, Wenger just referred to an a-ha moment. Is he speaking to my research proposal for my thesis at #Lancs #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • I love Wenger's story about wine at http://bit.ly/e5qRf6 #lumsforum I think many of us can appreciate it (though I love a good red wine!). #
  • The streaming web session http://bit.ly/e5qRf6 has excellent quality and sound. Kudos, LUMS. #lumsforum #phdchat #
  • Seems the #lumsforum feed on the http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/services/digital/Broadcasts/teachingforum.htm page only advances if we refresh #
  • The #lumsforum feed does not seem to be advancing on the web page for the Wenger session. Hope the techs get it sorted #phdchat #
  • The streaming url is http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/services/digital/Broadcasts/teachingforum.htm for the Wenger session #phdchat #lumsforum #
  • About to attend a streaming conference by Etienne Wenger "Learning in and across landscapes of practice" at Lancaster #phdchat #lumsforum #
  • Anybody recommend current research on ethical use of blog posts and Tweets, either anonymously or with the authors listed? #phdchat #AoIR #

  • Hmm, Twitter and email and such have me actively engaged, unlike the tv here that lulls me into a passive receptacle of corporate indulgence #
