This is a poster I did for Bucknell's Teaching and Learning Center. They had a session on integrating scholarhsip and teaching. Here I described two on-going projects in my classes that are advancing my scholarship.

This paper will present preliminary findings from an ongoing multi-sited ethnography investigating religious education teachers’ use of online social spaces. Looking particularly at the construction of RE teachers’ professional identities, the study focuses on two primary online social spaces: the TES RE Forum and the NATRE Facebook Page. However, also included, as secondary ethnographic sites within this multi-sited framework, are users’ schools and homes as a means of analyzing the interaction between the online and offline domains. The methodological approach is open and inductive, utilizing multiple data sources. The primary methods include: participant observation and analysis of online interactions; in depth narrative based online and offline interviews; analysis of networks; elite interviews; and analysis of RE/ religious discourses in the media.
Themes emerging from the fieldwork will be discussed in this paper. In particular, the neutrality of the online social spaces being studied will be questioned and the relationship between the agendas of parent companies and RE teachers’ online engagement and understandings of themselves and their subject will be explored. Additionally, Goffman’s image of ‘backstage’ in his framework of performance will be considered as having useful theoretical implications for an understanding of the place online social spaces play in RE teachers professional lives.

Here, the presenter relates how she discovered Twitter as a tool for professional networking and development and how it opened up new ways of learning and new professional opportunities.
Using first hand experience, the presenter takes us on a tour that encompasses a range of new theories and practices including, social networking, personal learning networks [PLN], personal knowledge management [PKM], digital literacies and digital age learning theories - connectivism, rhizomatic learning and heutagogy

The science of networks is becoming an increasingly important and intriguing area of study that reveals many a patterns and relationships often hidden. This presentation is about the use of SNA to study the network of the Digital Library Community
Given the set of problems and puzzles we have been observing in virtual worlds, and the themes that weave them together, we have begun to sketch out a conceptual and theoretical framework to better understand virtual worlds and their evolution. The starting point, we argue, is to see the story of virtual worlds as one of field flux and evolution. This puts our efforts in line with institutional and organization theory, especially Davis and Marquis’ recent suggestion that problem-driven research should be like a natural history of the institutions of capitalism. We also are adopting their suggestion of using mechanisms as a way to evade some problems with black box theorizing about the ways in which actors and codes at different levels interact to account for particular organizational and field level outcomes. Hence, we are using familiar concepts about fields and the “pillars” of institutional theory- the rules, laws, and codes that enable and constrain actors. However, we are adding a newer (or at least more recently rediscovered) tool from the org theory tool kit: mechanisms. Finally, we are doing this for a domain that poses some idiosyncratic issues.
Virtual worlds are an emerging field within a wider field (cyberspace) that is already in flux; moreover, we are dealing with organizations that can only be understood as constellations of worlds-within-worlds due to their constituent complexity. The internal complexity of the VWs has made them quite literally worlds within worlds. Crucially, these are not hermetically sealed terrariums. The flow of people, information, money, and digital objects is an essential feature of the worlds within worlds quality of VWs.
In this paper, we will describe a set of concepts that together make a framework for adequately describing virtual worlds in terms of institutional theory and evolution. This framework leads to proposing two critical co-evolutionary dynamics that will drive the worlds and their field. We will discuss what adaptation and adaptive capability means in this situation with coevolutionary dynamics in an emerging and turbulent field. Using grounded theory and a variety of qualitative data sources has brought us to this point. We will discuss a few preliminary case studies and what they real about adaptation for virtual worlds.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
