Pinterest is my most recent exploration -- one which, as some of you noted today, is perhaps quite 'public', but also affords news ways to construct the meaning(s) of self in relation to others. I posted here a recent board.
I've been thinking about how collaborative research projects might engage in collaborative reflexivity through the use of visual representations/textual support (as in pinterest). Perhaps this could be done more conveniently and efficiently in a shared blog. Nonetheless, it is always healthy to explore ways to push the bounds of how we represent our assumptions.
Here it goes...any thoughts?
10 weeks later we return to the notion of reflexive practices to enhance a research project. So Barry et al. (1999) claims that these steps improve productivity, effectiveness, and rigour/quality. Sure, if you do more *waves hands about in a fuzzy manner* you get a more robust research project. Is this really where the effort should go? Are there steps that take precedent over reflexivity methods in a project? In short, is the effort towards this enhanced outcome worth the resources allocation (time, being one of them)?
