Event Description
- Full Description:
- In this presentation, Professor Jenny Gore will raise important questions about method, power, and commitment in academic work through an account of transitions in her own academic journey. She will explain how she has moved from writing about critical and feminist pedagogy discourses as 'regimes of truth', using Foucault, to conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of the efficacy of Quality Teaching Rounds as an approach to teacher professional development. In tracing this seemingly incommensurable work, Jenny will highlight how methodology and ideology have taken second place to an unwavering commitment to wanting to make a difference for teachers and their students through a relentless and consistent 'struggle for pedagogy'. In so doing, Jenny will aim to illustrate how postgraduate student researchers (and others) might chart, and understand, their own efforts in and beyond the academy.
