The Good Place

Chidi Anagonye is a philosophizing character on the American Netflix series The Good Place.  As he is explaining some of the philosophical concepts to Elenor she gets lost in the information and language. I have to say, after spending my life in the dance studio communicating with children, I feel a bit like Elenor right now reading about ethics, aesthetics, Aristotle, Plato, Kant, and Hegel. 

I do sense, as I mull all this over and find out how it relates to theories in my own professional practice,  that clarity in some sense is just on the horizon. Yet, as I converse with my husband and children about the topics we are discovering and delving into, I had a giggle at the analogy of my situation and Eleanor's. 

Back to investigating. :)

    Hi Sheahan, I don't usually watch series but I get your feeling and philosophical inquiry. I am so curious about the resources you are using for these philosophers. Take care

Reflection on Module 2 Mapping Research Conversation

I am so grateful for technology. Even though I could not be present for the conversation, I can still partake in the rich ideas discussed via the video recording.  Although life circumstances have dictated that I will defer my studies for a term, seeing my colleagues online was inspiring and motivating. Thank you for your willingness to put forth your ideas - honest and curious. It helped bring courage for my own investigation as I keep my toe in the door of academia during this shift in my life.  The discussion has brought forth great ideas, more to consider, and an opportunity for reflection.  Brainstorming whom I can potentially talk to in my interview process, what research I may look into as I dive into dreaming about how art influences life, and more specifically, how dance influences and shapes our choices in life, keeps my own curiosity and creativity alive.   Even the vocabulary - shapes - speaks to how a dancer might explore with their physical ...

I asked in our What's App group and received some great ideas. I did follow advice and created my own account using my MDX email, however, I then realized the free personal account has its limitations. Limitations that would not work for group interviews. Now I have made a discovery I want to share in hopes of helping others find and use the MDX ZOOM account more easily.  Here is how I set up my ZOOM under the MDX licence using my MDX email. There are settings already chosen and locked by the University but there are lots you can personalize.  When logged in to your MDX student account, click on My Learning Essentials.   On the right-hand side in a column is the list of Online learning - useful resources . Yes, they are useful resources!  In that list, you will see Zoom and newrow guides . Click that....
